No twists, my 696 only supports two drives though. The last drive does need 
to be terminated. There is a jumper on the board that allows you to get 
into the firmware by typing:
 >>>b dua9
Which I found extremely clever of Dilog. You can also talk to it on the 
async port (useful for PDP-11's) You must reformat the drive using the 
Dilog controller as it will write some useful bits on the drive so to be 
recognized later on.
