Well it looks like you get at least one more terminator on the 4000/300 you 
picked up on ebay :-) Which, BTW, I would be interested to know what it had 
in it, the KLESI card is interesting in that you can run an RC25 with it.

I know for a fact that the KA640 in the MVAX 3300/3400 will run without a 
terminator as TestVAX has run that way for a while. It has only one drive 
(an RF30) that is a sacrificial test case. (I put Standalone backup on it 
however to insure that one could boot from it etc)
