I just looked at the TC02 and the Qualstar, there are termination
resistor packs on each. The Qualstar has a bunch of 74LS240 IC's near
the J1 and J2 pertec interface cables. The TC02 has a bunch of 74LS374
chips near the J1 and J2 connectors.
This is where the electrical engineer could help. How do you determine
how long a cable the 74LS240 can drive?
