- The Zorro II/III termination (from the Zorro III specifications) is for
- _backplane_ termination, not card termination. In general, a card won't
- need any additional termination, and it certainly shouldn't have any additional
- parallel termination on the backplane (eg, you don't want your card to have an
- undue influence over other cards).
