   A range of SCSI cables and terminators are available from Slough,
http://www.netshop.co.uk
   Many SCSI adaptors have two connectors and are designed to sit within a
length of SCSI cable. Two terminations are required, one on each end of the
chain. Each can be an independant terminator, or any device with an integral
terminator. There is usually a terminator on the SCSI adaptor itself,
selectable if it is at either end of the chain.
   An external adaptor is available to extend an internal cable on to
external SCSI devices such as a scanner. This can provide the option of two
different external connectors in a SCSI 2 chain.
