A SCSI bus requires two terminators, one at each end. The Flyer's got 3 busses. You need each drive to provide termination or a cable terminator each. Active ones are slightly better but passive will suffice.

Fast SCSI allows up to 3m cable, terminator-to-terminator.

Scratch the "if possible" - terminate always and correctly as long as you want your rig to work in a reliable fashion. btw: synchronous SCSI begins with 5 MB/s, Fast SCSI raised that to 10 MB/s.
