I've got a 9GB LVD drive with a SCA connector in my DEC PWS 433au by
converting it down to 68-pin with one of these adapters and setting the
jumpers on the drive to SE. Works great.

I'd say take a look at some place like
http://www.scsistuff.com I'm sure
there are others, but that's the only one I know off the top of my head
(I've not ordered from them though). I bought my converter at a local
electronics parts store and payed about twice what I should have. It's
pretty basic, and you can also get ones that convert down to Narrow. I
wouldn't worry to much about the manufacturer for this.
I'm not sure why you're worried about a terminator, but if you can't set
termination on the drive, you should be able to get a terminator that you
can clip onto the ribbon cable in one of the spots where you'd normally
plug a drive.
