Yes, but if
the connectors on both ends are the same I would be
able to use a SCSI cable to go from the 4000 to the HSD05.
Yes. But SCSI cables
are often twisted pair (pins 1+25, 2+26, 3+27,
...) so depending on the DSSI pinout it may be possible that different
DSSI signals go on the same twisted pair. This can lead to
interference if the cables are long.
That is true.
