- Actually this is not quite true. In most cases there is no need to
- remove terminators, only if you have two similar drives. That
- requirement was from the days of SASI. Sometimes removing terminators
- may even course problems.
-
- I have two drives in my Unix PC here at work and in Mega ST at home
- and both have terminator resistors there and no problems.
