On my Pentium Pro system, I have an Adaptec 2940u2w controller, with a 4.3GB HDD connected via a 68pin cable w/ a terminator at the end, and a DVD ROM drive connected via a 50 pin cable with no terminator at the end. Everything works fine, but I'm a bit confused about why everything works fine. As I understand it, if I just had the HDD, the card would auto terminate and become the 2nd terminator. But I have the SCSI DVD ROM drive hooked up as well on another cable. So the DVD drive should be one end of the SCSI bus and the terminator on the 68 pin cable should be the other end. Does the DVD drive have some sort of auto-terminating function built into it?
