The manual for my C1536A says:

So you should get a terminator (or an addtional SCSI device that does have a
termination dipswitch/jumper, like my CD-ROM drive :-)

This also explains why it works without the C1536: in that case your SCSI host
adapter will auto-terminate the empty narrow chain.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
