Thank you Forsyth,

I have believed that the hardware and the setting must be
no problem because:
1. When the PC is configured as a plan9 terminal,
   it shows no problem in booting and can read/write
   the scsi disks without problem.
2. Diagnostics in the 1542 control screen shows no errors.
3. Using the scsi utility on the card, I can verify the disks.

I have many 1542CF cards. However all of them are used cards.
They have been attached in old PCs that was already discarded.
So I have no printed documents for them.
I have believed that I can make the card terminated
only by setting dip-switch #1 on the card.
Does it require a physical attachment to be terminated?

I have already tried three cards. They show no difference.
