What in the manual suggests that there is no termination on the A2091? How do you suggest that you terminate both ends of an internal-only bus without an external terminator (which no one uses on A2091s)? I'm willing to bet a fair sum that the A2091 has terminators on the board. I believe they are right next to the 50-pin connector, but they probably aren't socketed. If you have only a drive mounted to the card and an external chain which is terminated, terminating only the card and the external chain will probably work. If you have a real chain inside and a real chain outside, reliability is going to dictate that you remove the terminators and that you terminate the last internal drive and the last external drive. Other configurations might happen to work, but may be slower and more error prone and may lead to unexplainable problems at some future date. Dale L.
