Checking that the SCSI chain is properly terminated

To ensure accurate transmission of information, a chain of SCSI devices must
have a terminator at each end. Terminators are built into some SCSI devices.

m External SCSI devices from Apple do not have built-in terminators.
m External SCSI devices from other vendors may have built-in terminators;

see the documentation that came with the device.

m The PowerBook 150 does not have a built-in terminator.

If you are attaching one SCSI device

The SCSI device needs two terminators. If the device has a built-in
terminator, you need to attach only one external terminator. If the device
does not have a built-in terminator, you need to attach two external
terminators.
