It shouldn't crash without termination, merely not see anything. Sounds like your SCSI controller chip is probably fried.

Use the NVRam Soft from Uwe Seimet (HDDriver) to set the machine (TT) SCSI ID to 7.

You need a 6V NVRam Battery for the Mainboard ...

4x AAA batteries in a holder works wonderfully (and cheaply).
The TT will run without one, or at least mine did for a while.

Well, I plugged again external SCSI HDD and added terminator at its end as I happened to have one and it works. I can run Mint and no surprises as of yet. I plugged the battery but 3.5V - seems to be holding watch and date - should I change it?
Big thanks - process ongoing
