NO NO a thousand times NO-Not according to Apple !
The internal SCSI Bus 0 is a separate bus from the external SCSI Bus 1,
each with their own drivers( and separate connectors on the mother
board_)
With no external devices connected to the external SCSI connector, there
is built-in , internal termination for that Bus 1.
When you plug in the external SCSI cable it automatically opens this
internal termination,and you then must supply Bus 1 termination via
either Device jumpers or via an active type terminator.
The basic rule to remember is: only the last device in the external
string is terminated. A single device is the last device
