Yes, it does have built-in auto termination, with high/low LEDs on
the back of the case. I have looked for cables already, but the
problem is that most of the vendors want $30-50 for the cable.
That's hard to swallow when I picked up the drive for $10, and
this is just for my personal use (if it was for company use I'd
have no problem spending $50 for a SCSI cable.) So that's why I
posted here, hoping some kind soul might have an extra cable around.

Thanks, Mike
