True. But if I'm remembering correctly, they only did that on SCSI
busses which had both internal and external connectors, which made it
possible for the host controller to be in the middle of the chain.
In the 9500 and relatives, the internal disks should be on the 10
MB/s internal-only SCSI bus and I'm pretty sure that one has
termination.
