It's a real term. I've heard that they toyed with 'falutding' and almost picked 'conectorator' but interposer stuck! I believe it's actual function is to indicate to the 65xx card that a device is attached, and it may provide source end SCSI termination. Since many of the devices we connect to AS/400's can be attached to other equipment we cannot be assured that without the interposer, the device will behave exactly as the 65xx card would like. I do know that without the interposer the tape drive might as well not even be turned on because not only will it not auto-config but it flat won't vary on. On the other hand it may actually be the source of the magic smoke to fill the cable between the system and the tape drive to get them talking!!!
