zzzt, thanks for playing..
that one causes problems when terminated even in single and dual RM 
configurations..

I think you are looking at Crimson information, Not Onyx.

I am leaning further and further toward the answer being NONE of them, the 
more I look.

I think that the Crimson VME backplane (or whatever the RM's live on) needed 
termination in the last slot.  I think that the Onyx backplane is itself 
terminated beyond the last slot, in which case, the termination might not be 
needed at all...

Some please correct me if you have more definitive information than I have 
available...
