If you can pmail me with the pin-outs of the cable, we can make these cables available on our webstore for other Amiga users.

Problem solved! :)
How about making the octopus cable sets for the flyer card too!

Those are very straight forward, it's just 50pin SCSI cables in a unique bundle.
 
I'll see if I can find some of those too, I was just planning to use internal drives.

I was also just going to use my internal drive for testing, but you can use single partition huge drives off the flyer card with the octopus cable set which keeps the flyer drives off your system bus.

My SCSI drives will be in the tower, but using flat ribbon cables to the Flyer instead of the external Octopus cable.

Ahh, I see. Nice. I'll give that a try. Need more ribbon cables then too! :(

Oh, one more thing...You HAVE to set up the drives and format them using the NewTek tool. (can't remember the name...)
 
It uses a special format, but has speed advantages and no file or drive size issues. I've used some relatively huge drives with no problem >80GB.
 
The Flyer software does have problems with over 180 files per directory though.

Excellent info! I have been keeping 2 10GB / 10K RPM for the video. I take it I can use any drive for audio or should all 3 match?
