Don't most internal LVD cables come with termination on one end of
them already? The cable included with the Adaptec 29160N I just
bought and an LVD cable I picked up for a 2940U2W I already had both
came that way, and the cables can be had for around 30$/40$US. IMHO
it would probably be cheaper to buy both an active SE terminator
and a pre-terminated LVD cable than an LVD multi-mode active terminator??
