Sure, but....

Try it first with a regular terminator and see if it doesn't work just
fine. SCSI voodoo and all that stuff, you really can't predict what will or
won't work (unless you have Granite SCSI cables like I do, neener neener).
If you still really need one, and can't find it in the UK, I have them,
just email me directly and I will see what shipping etc. looks like.

What kind of MO drive did you get?
