Sorry for broadcasting wrong information. Chris is right about the SS1 &
1+. Just went into the lab to checked it out, and it seems his multimeter
is right on. (Open mouth, insert foot...)
I feel quite silly about this. The reason I thought this about the SS was
due to checking a VERY old SS1 that we borrowed from our sales office for
evaluation 6 months ago. I could have botched it when checking TERMPWR,
but I was convinced there was no +5V present. Anyone out there have a
really old original SS1 who might have noticed this?
Actually I'm quite happy about the outcome of this, since we do use an
external terminator; Now, at least, we don't have to decide which device
is the one which should be jumpered to source TERMPWR.
Again, let me apologize for the slanderous comments.
