Hey, me again with cable drama. Is the EDS to MEC cable just a standard cable? I am thinking I really do not need to have 6 foot cable stretching the 12 inches from my expansion chassis to the MEC in the rack directly above it.

Normal SCSI? Do I need to worry about any particular pin configuration?

Thanks,

Phil

Yep, that's a standard SCSI cable, no special configuration that I know of. They seem to be getting a little trickier to find nowadays so if you find a place that has them at a good price, let us know.

What is the number of pins? I am seeing tons of cables on ebay with all different pins and stuff.

I think - but do not know for certain - that it's a standard fifty-conductor SCSI-2 cable with a HD50 end. Anyone else know for sure? You can compare your ends here:

Shop around. There are some very, very optimistic sorts out there hoping to sell them for anywhere up to $100. The actual price you'll find should be more like $8 - $25 depending on quality.
