And the "wide scsi" probably
wasn't. It was DEC's narrow scsi on the 68 pin
cable.
Given that a generic wide-to-narrow SCSI cable has NC's on the upper
8 bits of the wide-SCSI HD 68 connector, how does te DEC version of
the cable differ? Is the signal pinout substantially different from
the lower 8 bits of a generic wide-SCSI?
Just curious,
