Thank you, I won't ask on how you found this out, but I'll make sure to
have the terminator before running even a single drive! :)

Ideally I would like to find the following:
7009026 Cable which is two ribbon cables with a M933B or C flip chip on
the
other end
The interface cable between the two drives: BC11A
The terminator card M930
At minimum, I'm pretty sure I'd only need the first cable to run one of
the
drives, but I'd appreciate any help from
those who have more experience.
You must put the terminator in, even on a single drive system. I've had
problems
where you get glitches on unterminated lines and the drive can end up
writing
when it shouldn't. Don't ask...
The M930 and BC11 should be easy to find, they are actually the same as
the bits
used on PDP11 Unibus connections.
