I recently aquired an SS2 which came without any SCSI disks (ie: neither internal
or external) and as such I will need to add some.

My question is what are the rules for terminating the SCSI bus for the internal
connectors (one and/or two disks) and the external bus?

What are the side effects if this is incorrectly done? I have noted there are
no SCSI/Ethernet/Mouse fuses as with earlier Sun models, does this mean I can
blow up the drive and or SCSI controller on the motherboard?

Any information would be appreciated before I try "experimenting" myself...
