Ahh, but they do.  Its an "active" termination when its enabled, 
which is via jumper placement on the drive.  You'll have to slide 
the drives out of the rails to see the jumper tables printed on the 
top and the jumper locations are sometimes on the front edge of the 
drive, and sometimes on the bottom, very occasionally on the rear 
adjacent to the header socket.

Is the tape the last device on the cable, and connected to the last 
connector?

Nothing in the above list seems to want to grab me by the ankle, 
sorry.  Other than the tape saying it runs at 40m/s whereas the 
rest say 80m/s, nothing else seems to be different, and the 
controllers driver *should* be able to negotiate that.
