Don,
I'm probably way out of school here considering your experience, but
the SCSI 2 terminators I've played with actually use transistors. Most
obvious example was the one that comes with the CBM 4091 – it wasn't
encapsulated so you could easily check out the circuitry. It appears
"they" are actively monitoring/adjusting either impedance or current which
is IMHO a better solution for higher performance on the buss!
I also have used plain old resistor pack type termination with SCSI 2
devices with no problem, but just like under SCSI 1 operations, I'm sure
it's not as effective <grin>.
