I saw no mention of the second header in the Trumpcard Pro
manual. Maybe I just skimmed over the reference. :-(

I just left the terminators on my Quantum hard drive, left
them on the Trumpcard Pro, and left them on the SyQuest
EZ135S drive (which is hooked to the second header via a
ribbon cable and a Socket 50 to SCSI I adapter.) All works
