If you have a Pegasus (which is internally terminated), and have an
external drive chained to it (also internally terminated), nothing
bad happens.  I forget the exact reason, but if the cable length is
kept to a minimum, both drives can be terminated and you'll get no errors.
I guess the same goes for external hard drives.  

I had a in internal Pegasus, external 42meg, and external CDROM all on
the same Appel HighSpeed SCSI card once.  All were terminated.  I got
o reading or writing errors.  I just had a hard time figuring out
what was on each partition, I had about 20 devices on the Finder desktop.
