Maybe it depends on the rev of the hardware or the OS, but I have
a Sun 3/80 that happily runs SunOS 4.1.1 on two internal Quantum
105 meg drives without a terminator on the back.

I'm planning to install NetBSD on the box, but I'm going to remove
the two internal drives  so that I can keep SunOS and install NetBSD
on a much larger external drive.
