We ran into the same type of problem with the Sparc10's using
Artecon external SCSI bus equipment.  It turns out that the Sparc10
series is using a different type of SCSI termination.  You need
to contact your local sales rep and get him/her to give you
some terminators for the SS10 SCSI bus.  I think they are called
Forced Powered Terminators, or something like that.
