its actualy intresting to be talking about this because with My Video Toaster Flyer system I have 7 SCSI drives spred over 3 SCSI chains and do not have even one terminator on the cables. I am thinking that there must be an on board terminator on the Flyer board its self in order for this to work but have never found out for sure.

If you check, you will probably find that the last drive on each chain has its on-board termination enabled.  This is a feature of most SCSI drives.

I just checked mine, and they're definitely set.  IIRC, the Flyer doesn't work right if the chains aren't terminated.
