I was going to recommend this on the first posting, but thought I'd read
through the whole thread first. :)
coax ethernet is terminated to 50 ohms on each end (25 ohms overall) with
one resistor across the line. SCSI is terminated to about 130 ohms, I cant
remember the exact value, buy pulling 220 ohms against +5 and 330 against
ground on each end of the line.
You may want to try one or both of these termination schemes. The first
gives a nice 10mhz lowvoltage signalling rate, and the second, with good
cabling, can give a 40mhz signalling rate using high-current drivers.
The actual values of the resistors used for termination here shouldnt be
used as a concrete value when choosing your termination, as they're
optimised for circuits other than the CIA sp's. Make sure you terminate
both data -and- clock also.
