OK, I need some help here. I have run across the dreaded "no
termination power" problem. I'm using an Apple Rev C SCSI card in a
ROM 1 GS. I have the documentation on how to modify the SCSI card by
adding a diode. But, I'd prefer not to do that. I don't have a
heavy duty power supply, and don't want to strain it anymore than I
have to. My question is - How do I modify the drive case to supply
terminator power? It should be fairly easy to connect the HD case PS
to the SCSI connector.
1. Which pin of the DB-25 SCSI connector is the one that
supplies termination power to the bus?
2. What voltage line from the PS goes to it? It seem to me that
I remember it being the +5v. Right?
3. Should I put a fuse or diode or some other electronic gizmo
in between, or is just running a wire sufficient?
4. What else do I need to know? I'm not an electronics whiz,
but I know which end of a soldering iron not to touch. (I didn't even
need to learn it the hard way :)
Thanks in advance for all help.
