Hmm, some BIOS's don't like a tape drive to be 0, but it shouldn't be a
problem with Linux. I like to set the tape drive to 6 so that it's not
mistaken for a boot drive.

Depends on your controller card. For most controller cards, they
auto-terminate if only one connector is in use. Check your controller card
manual.
