Well, it's annecdotal, but I've had low quality resistors in SCSI
connectors cause spurious bus errors and I've had passive terminators
"wear out" and all that's in them is resistors and connectors.

Yeah, they are usually where there's less air flow.

IAC, while its not the most likely problem source, my experience with SCSI
says that resistors can cause problems
