Since I am no SCSI guru, can someone please explain, how to determine
which is active and which is passive?

I went to the computer store, asked for a SCSI terminator and got it. It
has three little LEDs (one is POWER, one is LVD and the third is SE).
After I connected it to SCSI bus, POWER and LVD are on. Is this active or
passive?

PS: I had instability issues with on-board AIC7xxx too. I think it could
have been a heat problem, so I'm going to glue a small cooler on the AIC
chip.
