While I appreciate the trip down to my EE class memories, you're 
responding to a specific use case with general information.

You should read the above as:

...such cable is not designed for such speeds [in the configuration Bob 
Rosen used] and should not be used...

I understand SCSI, but the SCSI flat cable spec puts a ground on every 
other line, and uses terminators as you note.  Neither are present on 
Bob's cable, to my knowledge.  If they are, my apologies.
