Most likely, the 25 pin plug is also SCSI. 25-pin and 50-pin Cent were
both out about the same time I believe.

Most likely, that's all you'll need. The manual should specify what the
25-pin port is somewhere.

The terminator goes on the last device in the external chain. You can
attach internal devices at the same time, just make sure each device
(internal or external) has a different SCSI ID. The internal chain will
have to be terminated also.
