Some wide devices require proper termination of the whole bus, which the narrow bus half is just terminating on the low byte - thus you need a 'half terminator' (often seen with SCA adapters) if the drive doesn't work right away. But most do.
If the ACARD has built-in termination it'll take care of that but needs to be at the end of the bus.
