Oh, I just can't resist.  Just to confuse things, here's a chain that 
maybe shouldn't work, but it does, electrically...

T:MB===D1===D2========D3===D4:T=============D5===D6:T

The gaps between D2 and D3, D4 and D5 being loooong SCSI cables.

Turns out if the chain is really long, echos can still happen even 
when it's terminated at each end properly.  Adding a terminated 
device into the middle of the chain, such as a JAZ drive (with term 
set to on), sometimes fixes things right up!  Wierd, but it works. :)
