Macintosh and LaserWriter: SCSI Termination Outlined

Is there a table that outlines the specific termination requirements and capabilities of the Macintosh and Apple printer product lines?
Below is a table that includes the SCSI termination specifics for all Macintosh models and LaserWriter printers (current as of this issue) and describes whether termination power (TPWR) is supplied for either the internal or external SCSI bus, depending on which is present (one or both).

Macintosh Models
Here is a description of the information provided in each column of the following table:

Additional Termination - Indicates if additional termination is needed for a separate internal bus.
Internal Device - Indicates if an internal device or BUS TPWR is supplied.
External Bus - Indicates if an external BUS TPWR is supplied.
Term. Type - Indicates the type of terminator required for the external bus.
SCSI Mode - Indicates if the CPU can be used in SCSI disk mode. Currently only some PowerBook models support SCSI Disk Mode.

NOTE: The asterisks in the table correspond to footnotes that follow the table.

NOTES:
* An active termination circuit automatically terminates the internal device when it is the last device on the bus. If a terminated device is attached to the external SCSI port, the internal termination is deactivated.

** These PowerBook Duos work in SCSI Disk Mode with a minidock.


Printer Information
Here is a description of the information provided in each column of the following table:

Direct Connect - Indicates if the printer includes a direct SCSI connection.
External Port - Indicates if the printer includes an external SCSI port (for additional font storage).
Term. Type - Indicates the type of terminator required for the external port.
TPWR - Indicates if termination power is supplied and, if so, if it is internal or external.
Reserved SCSI IDs - Indicates if the printer includes a reserved SCSI ID and, if so, what ID number is reserved.

NOTE: The asterisks in the table correspond to footnotes that follow the table.
