You _would_ need 2 terminators. A terminator at each end of the chain is
the recommended (and often required) setup for things to work reliably.
It is usually possible to get away with a single terminator on single cable
SCSI chains, but I would recommend against it.

No. It's just fine where it is. Your chain has a terminator on each end --
one on the H.S. SCSI card, and the other on the drive.

Bottom line: If it works, don't fix it.
