- hi-
-
- The way SCSI was designed- is that there must be terminating resistors
- on each end of the cable, regardless of the the controller (host) is
- located in the chain. There must not be more than 2 terminations
- on a scsi cable.

- <term>----<controller>-----<disk>----<term>.
-
- This means that if the controller (host) is in the middle of the chain,
- remove its terminators. (kinda like a "T" config).
