It's got a 68-pin female, 3 resistors, and a diode.

OK, I realize this probably doesn't quite squeak in under the 10 year mark,
but...
1 year off isn't too bad.
Basically I've got a really stupid question,
does the external SCSI bus
HAVE to be terminated? If so any idea's on how to go about doing that
without finding a DEC terminator?
It doesn't need termination unless you have an external device hooked to
it. (The <1in length of the connector from the controller should fall
within acceptance of the SCSI spec. I heard that the SCSI-1 spec didn't
even require termination. Is there truth to that? ) I've never seen a
DEC terminator that fits that plug (68-pin male).
