SCSI questions

Hmmm..... I'd keep looking.
Do a Google search for SCSI cables.
I'm guessing but I would think you should be
able to find what you need for $10 to $15.00 U.S.
Why do you need an 8 device cable??
Usually 4 or 5 device connectors will handle
most setups.
If you had needed a 50 pin, I could have made it
for you.
Check the surplus cable sites on the net.
As an example, CompUSA wanted $18.00 for
a networking cable. I found a site on the net
and got the same cable for $1.80 with a minimum
order of $12.00 so I padded the order with a few
more cables and with shipping still came out ahead.

I can only guess as to the Fiber Channel? drives.
I would think if they are compatable with standard
SCSI controllers then you should be able to use
them. The only way to know for sure is to try it.
In my limited experience with SCSI, I have found
that drives that you think should work with no
problems can give you problems and others that
you expect problems from go just fine. There doesn't
seem to be any real rigid standards for SCSI  or
atleast Amiga SCSI. I don't see any reason why
you couldn't use them (but I'm only guessing).
As for the cable I would search the net and also
check EBay . I would say for a 3 or 4 device cable,
I would pay $15.00 tops + shipping. Some of these
outlet stores really gouge you.
