  Unibus definitely does.  And while certain buses like SCSI will sometimes
work without proper termination, Unibus...well, doesn't.  At least not that
I've ever seen.

  Q-bus machines, however, I've never seen any sort of bus terminators for. 
I've two running Qbus systems here in the room with me, for example, neither of
which have terminators in them.

  Weird.
