As a satisfied user of the termination scheme mentioned, I'd
like to point out that it's easy to build on an 86-pin edge connector
and just plug it on the end of the chain.  Easy to change the pile
of peripherals around that way, if they all have pass-through.
(I suspect this is what Brad had in mind, but I had a vision of
someone soldering a bunch of parts directly into the last board/
expansion peripheral...)

Using such a terminator, I have been able to put two Starboards
on my A1000, where I couldn't before.  Haven't had a chance to try
three of 'em yet...

Cheers,
