A question regarding Seagate SCSI drives (3.5")....

Do these drives require an EXTERNAL terminator when used with an
//gs (with an Apple SCSI) card or are the terminators on the drive
module?

The reason I ask is that I have a 30meg, 3.5" seagate (ST138N) tied 
to my //gs and I love it.  The "problem" (not really a problem) I have
is that when I'm in an idle state doing nothing, the disk heads sound
like they're seeking.  The light on the drive doesn't come on.  I 
bought the drive for a small outfit in the local area and they told
me this was normal.  I was wondering if I needed to put a terminator on
the cable.
