I'm well aware of this. I also didn't assume. Unless the original post had a typo, he distinctly said the CD-ROM was terminated, so the card didn't need to be. Notice that is decidely singular, and hence, does *not* indicate what you drew above, it indicates one end of the bus being terminated only. Hence, my response.
