I recently came across three single BBC drives. One Opus, one Cumana and one
Watford. I took off all three cases and on one of them the jumper for to
make it drive 1 was visible and easily moved, so I put two of them onto one
cable. (1 External power supply, 1 Power from BBC). I agree the power
situation is not ideal, but it's just temporary while I transfer some data.

The important question is.... will having a terminator on both drives affect
things?

Many thanks in advance.
