I borrowed an active terminator with a LED and got no light when the
scsi cable was plugged to the SS5.  The label on the terminator says
that no light indicates "pwr off/HVD detected."  I got a red light
when the scsi chain wasn't plugged in.

This one is a really really really cheap active terminator.

I assume we've got the fuse blow-out condition.  Would a forced
perfect termination terminator be the thing to try next?
