Yes you can.
Unplugging the respective filing system on a B/B+ stops the Tube from
working because there's noone listening for the service call which prompts
the Tube initialisation.
On the Master unplugging Terminal has no effect as the code for *FX143
always calls ROM 15 regardless of its status: the bulk of the Terminal
service code is mainly used for the Tube and some cassette filing system
stuff.
The code for *FX142 does obey the unplugged status so you can't enter
Terminal,
