When I ordered them just after the new year, it was $124 shipped for two data cables and a
command cable pair. The data cables have increased in price by $100 each since then. Maybe
that is why my email isn?t getting answered?
They have ?one left? command cable pair on eBay for a lower price. I am tempted to buy it
except I already paid them for another one.

Data a single is 25-pin cable, but I have two
drives. so ideally need two. Command is a pair of cables, one 25-pin and the other 37-pin.
I don't know if the pins are straight through or whether they do any swapping from one
end to the other.

Liam, he's looking for SMD, which need a Bus and Radial. One Bus can daisy
chain from drive to drive, and us usually 60 pin. The radial RF cables are usually 26 pin
ribbon. A separate cable from the controller to each drive is required to hook up the
system.
You're thinking about the 50 pin D-sub that went to the older deskside bricks for
workstations.
thanks
