2) Having an inline terminator won't hurt (and, in fact, conforms to the standard "one terminator at each end of the bus" rule). If the scsi cable is short, you can readily get by with just one terminator at the end, though.
Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but since the Plus has a SCSI ID, it's actually the end of the chain, and it's probably internally terminated. The Plus probably has a SCSI ID of 7. I would remove the inline terminator and see what happens.
My memory says that the Plus did not have internal termination and that one needed to keep the cable to the first device short and install an inline terminator at the first device if there would be more than one device in the chain.
However, that was a long time ago, my memory is faulty, and I may be confusing the memory of termination with the memory of termination power.
I too would like to hear from anyone who remembers the accurate version of this. Does the Plus supply termination to its end of the chain? I think someone already posted that it does not supply term power.
