Just don't forget that the termination is on the cards in different PC's.
When you power one off you will need to be careful that the termination is not
lost. On some adapters the termination is controlled by BIOS, i.e. no power,
no termination. Often they have jumpers that can be set to force termination.
We wont even talk about what happens if you have to remove the cable to switch
SCSI cards.
