>Is a pas-thru terminator the same thing as a passive terminator? Usually, but not always.
A "pass-though" terminator passes all 50 signal and ground lines through to the next device, taking its terminator from the TERMPWR line. An "active" terminator utilizes devices other than pure resistive pull-ups to +5 volts (220 ohms) and pure resistive pull-downs to ground (330 ohms). There are special chips which can accomplish this, or this may be simulated using a combination of active and passive components. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
