    Yes, it has two terminators, both are removed. I've also tried
removing the terminator on the cd drive, and/or on the external case.
Unfortunately, I can't find the two terminators for the micropolis, or
I'd try just using them and removing the cd terminator. The funny
thing is that I'm quite sure that when I was last messing about with
the multias about 4-5 years ago, I used this same micropolis drive and
same cd drive in that external case, and it worked, except then I had
no internal drive, and the controller was the other type with only one
cable connector.
