Archive Viper Termination?

Does the Archive Viper (2060S) have built-in termination?  It's
typically been the only other device on the chain, and has worked
without an external terminator on three different systems.  I installed
the drive in a case that I obtained myself, so I know that the case
doesn't provide termination.  I saw no resistor packs on the drive's
logic board.

I'm adding a device on the chain, and its documentation mentions that
some SCSI devices have internal termination.  I need to determine if
the new device should be placed at the end, to provide the missing
termination (it's switchable), or in the middle with the termination
turned off (using the Viper's termination).  The only docs I have are
for the 2060L (QIC-02 rather than SCSI; we also have PDP-8 stuff around
the lab :-), so RTFM won't do.
