Wrong. This is one SCSI bus as far as I can see. SCSI buses are linear
things, not star shaped. And they have only 2 terminators, each on every
end of the bus.

So:


T=terminator D=scsi device H= hostadapter 


	T-------D--------H--------D-------T      is OK



	T-------D--------H--------D-------T
			 |
			 D
			 |
			 T                       is definitely wrong.

To add to that using external and internal (flat) cables is generally
not recommended, especially not on Ultra (or faster) buses.

Configure things correctly and try again. BTW I recommend putting
the DLT on it's own bus. It likes that (for speed). 

Groeten / Cheers,
Wilko
