Abstract
A link detection circuit automatically terminates SCSI data transmission lines by use of a sense circuit which detects the absence or presence of an adjoining device or devices. The lines are automatically terminated at the ends with no user intervention. Wrong input/output cabling is precluded by use of a bi-directional link detection circuit. Detection is done without adding signal lines or disturbing buss functionality.
