2 | MSG/ | Message |
3 | I/O/ | Input/Output |
4 | RESET/ | Reset |
5 | ACK/ | Acknowledge |
6 | BSY/ | Busy |
7 | GROUND | Signal Ground |
8 | DB0/ | Data Bit 0 |
9 | GROUND | Signal Ground |
10 | DB3/ | Data Bit 3 |
11 | DB5/ | Data Bit 5 |
12 | DB6/ | Data Bit 6 |
13 | DB7/ | Data Bit 7 |
14 | GROUND | Signal Ground |
15 | C/D/ | Control/Data |
16 | GROUND | Signal Ground |
17 | ATN/ | Attention |
18 | GROUND | Signal Ground |
19 | SEL/ | Select |
20 | DBP/ | Data Parity |
21 | DB1/ | Data Bit 1 |
22 | DB2/ | Data Bit 2 |
23 | DB4/ | Data Bit 4 |
24 | GROUND | Signal Ground |
25 | TERMPWR | +5 volts |
Inside the Apple SCSI Terminator each signal line (ends with "/") is connected to TERMPWR through a 220-ohm resistor and is also connected to GROUND through a 330-ohm resistor.

The obvious tradeoff here is cost versus time to build this terminator. It would seem that size is also an issue; this is a lot of resistors and solder joints to deal with.
However, if someone needs it, and appearance is not an issue and energy is in abundance, this is a solution.
