The internal (2x25=50-pin 0.025" ribbon cable) connector and external (5x6=30 pin HDI type with one pin missing, just as on the PowerBooks which support SCSI) connnector do not need to be terminated. They're driven in parallel. The internal connector cannot be terminated at all. The external connector, if used, may, in most cases, be terminated by the "weak" termination provided by most 1" high drives, or it may be terminated by a conventional terminator. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
