well... i don't have external terminators... i'll try to get some, but it's

ah, the structure is this?

external
  |
  |
controller
  |
  |
internal

so, even if internal are well terminated, since controller is stupid i must
also terminate the external?

cdrom have a termpwr jumper. how does it work? should is *also* be the
terminator, or doesn't matter?
