I havent wathed the thread (so forgive me, if I'm a latre echo), but the
SCSI-specification requires termination at the both ends of the SCSI bus.
If you can have so called active termination on every device. (Passive
termination is made od resistors .Active termination regulates the voltage
of the bus lines)
Sincerely Kari Lammassaari
PS. I have noticed several times, that if SCSI-bus is not linear (ie. looks
like letter Y, you must terminate each end of the SCSI-bus. Actually I an
just now using this Y-shaped (plopably illegal) SCSI-bus. SCSI-bus shoulb
be daisy chained and linear !
