Where to get SCSI terminator resistors nowadays?
« on: February 19, 2007, 03:39:01 PM »
Hi, I'm putting a Quantum Maverick 540MB hard drive in an Amiga 3000.
This type of drive uses resistor packs to enable on-board termination.

Unfortunately, the resistor packs are missing.  More unfortunately, they seem to be not the more common kind, which uses three 8-pin resistor packs.  Instead, this drive has space for two long 10-pin resistor packs.

Here is a short page/image on the drive:

Does anyone know what kind of resistor packs these are and where I could get some today?

Would I just be better off getting one of these on Ebay?

It's an internal in-line active terminator with pass-through. You plug it into the device you want to terminate, and them plug the ribbon cable into it.

These pass thru terminators are excellent
