According to amiga-hardware.com the Flyer SCSI can't be used as a general-purpose SCSI card, if that's what you were planning. :(

The shorter the SCSI chain, the less critical termination is. You might be able to get away with no termination, or the hard drive's built-in termination. If the hard drive's built-in termination is passive, you might get better results with a separate active terminator. But it probably won't make much difference if your cables are short.

You should always terminate the SCSI chain properly, if possible. But you might be able to get away with not terminating a 2ft chain. The chances of getting away with it are better for asynchronous SCSI (3MB/sec) rather than synchronous SCSI (10MB/sec).
