Hold the drive in your hands with the brown perforated cover facing you, and the door towards your waist. There are the back there's a large oblong hole. Convenient, isn't it? Look through the hole, and you'll either see a row of sockets (if the drive is unterminated) or a row of SIP resistors. (if it is terminated). >until I reset.

You can mail Vidar Mortensen as vimo@tdata.nl, he's part of their support operation, and has helped me several times with my 3660.
