You should always terminate the SCSI chain properly, if possible. But you might be able to get away with not terminating a 2ft chain. The chances of getting away with it are better for asynchronous SCSI (3MB/sec) rather than synchronous SCSI (10MB/sec).

Scratch the "if possible" - terminate always and correctly as long as you want your rig to work in a reliable fashion. btw: synchronous SCSI begins with 5 MB/s, Fast SCSI raised that to 10 MB/s.

The SCA 80 and U160/320 drives are not too reliable with simple passive termination (SCSI 1 & 2 seem OK); I would use active termination with these guys.
