Probably not. If I read correctly you use one SCSI bus. Every SCSI bus should have 2 terminators, one on each end. I believe that the motherboard controller will terminate one end automatically. It is advisable to either terminate the last device and place it at the end of the cable or to use and external (preferably active) terminator. On a side note, I have heard that one would only need one terminator for busses with cable length of less than 18 inches, personally I always use two. BMG p.s. Please go easy on me if this is not exactly correct, SCSI busses have changed a lot over the years. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Giorgio Bozio Sent: Thursday, September 16, 1999 8:10 AM To: up@3.am; webgio@hotmail.com Cc: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Subject: Re: tandberg ns8 with on-board adaptec AIC-7890 tape and disk are both terminated, is this correct? > > >Having gone though this myself recently...have a look at your termination. > >On Thu, 16 Sep 1999, Giorgio Bozio wrote: > > > I'm trying to install a tandberg tape ns8 (fast-Scsi) on a pc with a >asus > > P2B-S motherboard that has a on-board adaptec AIC-7890.
