the data cable was so short, GVP told me it did not need termination.


That makes sense since termination takes care of 'reflections' off the ends of the cable.  On a short cable the reflectiosn aren't nearly as bad.  

However on SCSI I though the terminator also was used to keep the bus from floating when no-one was using it.  This suggests that there should always be at least one terminator.
