I've seen lots of PERTEC interfaces, each with two 50-pin cable connectors.
I've also seen quite a few SCSI open-reel drives, and they normally have only
one.

One of the people on another list was asking about a "early SCSI" cable
that used 2 x 50pin ribbon cables on a hard drive. Was there such a SCSI,
or is it likely he has a pertec drive?
