The card appears to be auto-terminating. There's nothing movable on it.
There's a set of two pins that look as if a jumper cap might fit, but
usually in such cases, there's either a jumper cap hanging around
connecting a pin to nothing, or three pins, meaning "1+2=termination;
2+3=no termination". My guess is they are test contacts.

Yeah, but my guess is cdrecord would see an empty bus, not no bus.

[root@pc root]# file - < /dev/st0
-bash: /dev/st0: No such device
