Scsi terminator placement...

You only need one terminator on the cable. Dont get carried away with multiple terminatores on both ends. I only have one (just like Yours)and it is located on the end of the cable and everything works just fine. If your adding an external SCSI devise then just add the adapter somwhere in between an run it out the back of your case.

Its always worked for me. I have never used more then one Terminator and have always placed it on the end of the cable or on the last connector of the cable.
I then place however many devices I want on the remaining connectors. So adding an external SCSI conector to the cable somewhere in between should work as well.

They also make pasthrough active terminators so you dont waste any of the "nodes" on the cable.

Note: alot of external SCSI devices have a jumper to enable or disable the on board termination so if you put this device at the end of the cable and remove the terminator that you have and then enable the termination on that device it should work.

its actualy intresting to be talking about this because with My Video Toaster Flyer system I have 7 SCSI drives spred over 3 SCSI chains and do not have even one terminator on the cables. I am thinking that there must be an on board terminator on the Flyer board its self in order for this to work but have never found out for sure.

Nope, Non of the drives are terminated. I checked
