Huh? Perhaps you mean that the way the board connects to
the rest of the machine is *through* the cables (i.e. there
is not some other set of connectors on the board that plug
into a "backplane")? So, *normally* the cables plug into the
memory board but, on the last board, the terminator sits
"between" the cables and the board?
In other words, any solution *must* have 4 connectors on it
(you can't just take two INDIVIDUAL connectors and solder
the RPAK's onto the back of those connectors (i.e. skip the
PCB entirely!)
What sort of connector does it have on it (sorry,
I don't have an
IRIS)?
I'll just post the image link - maybe that helps in finding good
ideas:

This board is plugged into the two connectors of the last memory board
in the chain. The cables are then connected to the terminator instead
of the board itself.
