- I don't know of ANY internal bare SCSI drives that have two ports. They

- the last drive, just disable termination. SCSI drives are always terminated
- right at the PC board where the connecter is, so the electrical stub is short
- enough to not be of consequence.
-
- The external models simple have a loop of ribbon cable internal to the case.
- Each end goes to a SCSI connector, with an IDC connector in the middle of the
- loop that plugs onto the drive.
