Absolutely positive.  I even pulled apart the box to check.  The odd thing
is :

	dd if=/dev/rsd1a of=/dev/null bs=1k count=1024

works perfectly but

	dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd1a bs=1k count=1024

generates the 'selection failed' when it *finishes*.

I found another SUN0207 (this time a Conner disk) and that works perfectly
with the original cable and terminator.
