[comp.periphs.scsi] SCSI 2 Termination

kaufman@Neon.Stanford.EDU (Marc T. Kaufman) (08/22/90)

In a recent article, a new, active, termination was briefly described for
SCSI-2.  Will it also work with SCSI-1?  And would someone be good enough
either to describe it in detail or post a schematic?

Yes. It was designed to replace the 220/330 termination in SCSI-1.

If you have access to a Laserjet (or WordPerfect 5.1), I can send you the
raw bits to an article I wrote for Electronic Design.  Among other things,
it covers the new termination and explains why it's better.

To those of you that requested this,

My email system bounces mail back to me that exceeds 100kbytes. The shar'd
raw Laserjet file is about 500kbytes (I have some graphics and schematics)
I'm working on breaking the file into smaller ones, but if you can't
dig up a copy of the May 10, 1990 issue of Electronic Design, you might want
to email me your US Mail address in case my experiments aren't successful.

I can't ftp to a remote site without a lot of red tape and paperwork, so
breaking the shar file up seems like the most pain-free approach.

Regards,
Kurt.
