The subject of the original mail was wrong. It should have read
SS20 SCSI Questions.
The answers to my questions are:
1) Do not apply TERMPWR to any drives. On true Sun platforms, do not
terminate any internal drives. With clones, your mileage may vary.
In my case, I did need to terminate the last internal drive.
Terminate the end of the external SCSI bus. Use an active terminator
at the end of the external SCSI bus. Active terminators can usually
be identified by the presence of a green LED.
2) See #1.
3) Keep cable length as short as possible. Cable lengths listed in standards
correspond to ideal situations. The real world figure may be less. Cable
vendors: Cable Connection, Andataco (http://www.andataco.com)
The true nature of my problem appears to be the usual SCSI culprits: a
misunderstanding about jumper settings, and a bad cable.
