- We ran into the same type of problem with the Sparc10's using
- Artecon external SCSI bus equipment. It turns out that the Sparc10
- series is using a different type of SCSI termination. You need
- to contact your local sales rep and get him/her to give you
- some terminators for the SS10 SCSI bus. I think they are called
- Forced Powered Terminators, or something like that.
