>> Sure, if the host is supplying TERMPWR, then a cable with a terminator alone can provide termination, as that terminator will take TERMPWR as its source of +5 volts. OTOH, if the host is not supplying TERMPWR, then this technique won't work, and an actual device, properly plugged to supply TERMPWR TO the bus and properly powered-ON, is necessary in order for the cable trick to work. Scanners are notoriously poor in their adherence to the applicable SCSI specs. Some tape drives, too. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
