On our boxes we usually have 3 physical devices 0, 1, and 9 (two HD's and the card) on a 3 plug ribbon....We have never used a terminator or a terminating cable. I use IDE devices for CD and Tape.
Is there any potential performance hit to this?
I am actually very curious about the performance of Eru's SCSI DVD drive VS IDE. Is DVD playback smoother in any way with this drive? If so I may run out and get one. I was thinking of picking up an ata133 IDE DVD whenever they are available here previously.
