By the way, WATCH OUT on sparc archetecture boards from Sun, especially
the Sun-4.  Some of them have the terminator power pin grounded at the
CPU board, and you can blow the fuse / protector on the drive (or blow
something else if the drive is also non-conforming, or melt the insulation
on one of the wires) if you just plug in to one of these with a cable that
connects that line.
