&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hi Eduardo,
<BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Question: How does this TERMINATION (passive or active???) works? Does
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Scanjet need ones? I am clueless....
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The rule of thumb is that any external SCSI device will need a
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;terminator. Now, please understand that not every SCSI device on an
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;external SCSI cable/chain will need a terminator, only the last one
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(because, as the name implies, the terminator terminates the bus).
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So, if you have a scanner and, oh, a ZIP drive, the last device
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;on the bus need to have a terminator.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Terminators come in different flavors. My ScanTeK scanner has
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a Centronix(?) great big huge SCSI connector. It also has a low-
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;density 50 pin female connector. So I can either add another device
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;using the 50 pin female connector of the Centronix connector. And,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if I don't choose to add another SCSI device to the chain, I have
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to put a terminator either on the Centronix connector or the 50 pin
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;connector. Since the scanner provided a Centronix connector, I used
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that one.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bruce
<BR>
