I checked an old SCSI reference and found the following:<br>
1) the given schematic is correct for single-ended SCSI termination, but<br>
not for differential. For differential, they suggest:<br>
<p>
Vcc (+5.0 nominal)<br>
<i> |</i><br>
\<br>
/ 330 ohm<br>
/<br>
\<br>
<i> |</i><br>
-Signal ---+<br>
<i> |</i><br>
\<br>
/ 150 ohm<br>
/<br>
\<br>
<i> |</i><br>
+ Signal ---+<br>
<i> |</i><br>
\<br>
/ 330 ohm<br>
/<br>
\<br>
<i> |</i><br>
GND (0.0 v. nominal)<br>
<br>
2. The signal table seems correct for differential 50-pin, but that was<br>
not the same as single-ended 50 pin for at least some signals.<br>
<p>
3. My manual had no information on other configurations.<br>
<p>
I will look at the information which came with my SCSI card and my scanner<br>
to see if they confirm and/or extend this. I have no reason to expect the<br>
low-speed SCSI interface at my card or scanner are differential; my<br>
aha1502e card uses the same DB-25 configuration as the Symbios P'n'P which<br>
came with the HP 4p scanner, and the scanner uses a 50-pin configuration. <br>
(My scanner includes a switch for internal termination, so I never worried<br>
about this. Our Suns use submini DB-50 connectors and Sun provides a<br>
terminator to plug in at the end of the chain. I have no descriptions of <br>
these - sorry.)<br>

<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; I've bought a second-hand UMAX Astra 600S scanner, but it came without</i><br>

<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; make one by myself. The problem is, i can't find a scheme on the WEB.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt;</i><br>
