I'm not sure who you mean by 'you' but let's guess that you want an update to the SCSI docs part of the handbook.

Stefan Esser does the ncr driver. He can probably decipher the kernel messages. > nice (I didn't think terminators even had an up or a down side), but They do. It is a 220/330 ohm network for each terminated signal line. You reversed the resistors, making a non-characteristic impedance termination.
