The standard SDI cables we have for a KDA50 are made
of a
single 32-way BERG type plug that breaks out into 4 8-way
separate cables. These terminate in VAX bulkhead connectors,
and even though it was only last week that I set up an SDI
disk system I can't remember if the bulkhead connectors can be
removed to allow you to plug the 8-way cable ends directly
into a drive :o\
It's been a few years now, but I'm sure that I've removed
the metal bulkhead ends so I could got directly from KDA50
ro RA7x in a MicroVAX 3900. I'm also sure that the process
was non-destructive (i.e reversible - undo a few screws
and the two halves of the bulkhead connector come apart).
