I want to use both the internal and external SCSI devices with my A2091.  To my surprise, I see that the terminators on the card are not socketed and it doesn't appear that there is a jumper setting to disable termination. (Really?!?)  

Before I physically cut out the resistors and pick up a DB25 terminator, I just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing some less drastic way of removing the termination.

Ral-Clan is right, when using both internal and external devices,the 2091 is in the middle and should be unterminated and the ends terminated. As most, i have used the 2091 both ways with the onboard resistors in place and it seems to work fine, but this does technically break the scsi standard. If it works and is reliable you can probably leave them.
