it is possible to build them with just 50 ohm thin coax soldered to 0.1
connectors?
or are they tightly impedance dependent? Are there resistors on the drive
ends?
I assume that it takes 2 coax cables per drive (in/out) - thus 4 connections
?

I've been running SDI drives off a UDA50 with just a single cable for
testing. Seems to work fine. Not mechanically secure but good for
making sure the drive works.
If you use more than one cable you need an odd number of cables to get
the pin swapping to work right.
Don't have any extras, sorry. Could use a few more myself :-)
