Jim, Redmond cable has active terminators. I've also seen a few other catalogs that list them. The biggest headache is making certain you get one with the proper connector on it. There are three basic SCSI connectors that are available, and one connector that should never have been used. The three correct connectors: 50 pin high density SCSI 2. (same size as a serial connector but many more, much smaller pins. This is the external connector for the 4091) 50 pin ribbon cable connector. (This is the standard internal SCSI connector method) 50 pin centronics type connector. (Looks like a oversized printer connector. This is what most good external boxes use.) The bad connector that should _never_ be used for SCSI 2 FAST: DB25 connector, commonly known as the MAC SCSI connector. (This particular connector is the reason for many SCSI problems that people run into. Aviod it like the plague on a SCSI 2 FAST bus!)
