Ive found that scanners tend to be somewhat smartass when it comes to
termination. On my Umax Astra 1220S, if I terminate it (as suggested in
the manual, and it comes with a terminator in the box), it totally screws
up everything, I end up with skewed scans and lots of scsi bus resets. So
on my NCR53c810, my internal chain is terminated but my external chain
isnt (contrary to the manuals).
Makes no sense, but then as one of my friends said, "I discard everything
the manuals suggest WRT termination, they are almost always wrong".
