I have an internal 68-pin SCSI cable with space for 5 devices. The cable is damaged between the 3rd and 4th space and prevents the drive in the 1st space (the only drive) from functioning. In most cases, I would just replace the cable. But the connector to the motherboard is proprietary and near impossible to find a replacement for.

Would it be feasible to place a terminator in the 2nd space and have it function? The cable has a terminator at the end, but it's soldered in place. Alternatively, could I just snip off the cable right before the break and put the terminator there?

If you don't use the rest of the connectors you can terminate the cable in the middle - however, I'd strongly suggest cutting off the damaged half of the cable.
