Anyone got any recommendations for other hard drives to use with the CyberStorm? Something equal or better than the Atlas 10K II preferably... 18gb upwards? What are YOU using with your CyberStorm SCSI? :-)

I don't know the Atlas 10K II? - my SCSI-chain is as follows:
act. term - CSPPC - 4.3gB UW-SCSI-HD (IBM) - 160gB IDE-HD (Maxtor) via ACARD UW->IDE converter (faaaaast!) - act. term. (upper 8bit) adaptor UW->SCSI II - SCSI-CD-ROM - SCSI-CD-RW - IDE-DVD-RW via ACARD UW->IDE converter - SCSI-tape-streamer - ext. SCSI scammer - act. term (lower 8bit)
All devices have the internal termination disabled.
Regarding your question if you can terminate the chain in the middle of the cable:
No.
IIRC the signals can get "reflected" and the *ENDS* of the cable if those are not terminated actively.
IMO it would make more sense to cut the cable to the length you need and then terminate the ends.
