I've put a pair of those pass-trough terminators into mine A2000's SCSI controller.

 Works way better than those ancient resistor packs.

 I grabbed 4 units for less than 20 USD in a store.:lol:

http://www.scsi4pc.com/scsi874.htm is a place to get them, but you can probably find them in the UK as well.
Any extra connectors can be cut off, leaving the insides of your amiga more tidy.

One possibility if you will be ordering stuff anyway, is to add a couple quid for a 68-50 pin scsi adapter (if you have a SCSI CD-ROM, that is) and stick it on the UW bus as well.

That is a good idea. I might try it myself: where should I get those, and can I just cut the extra SCSI connectors off my existing cable (I don't need another UW device, just the one hard-drive)

What's a pass-through terminator? Does it terminate the end where the scsi cable connects to the Cyberstorm? Like this?

[BEGIN]Cyberstorm --- pass-through term --- scsichain --- pass-through term --- last scsi device[END]

I find that attaching active terminators on a cable connector wastes two connector on the chain. This may be a good solution.

Yup, that's exactly how it works, and yes, it saves you from wasting two connectors on the chain (as well as having two loose terminators dangling around inside your case).
