DSSI in a BA123? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

10 Aug 1999

...
 	1) The Controler <-> drive cable, can I crimp a
three
appropriately sexed IDC connectors on to flat ribbon cables for hookup? 
You should be able to...

...
 	2) How to hook up the drive control panel? The 3900
has a
connector that is wired to the bulkhead and the drive, it also holds a
"unit number" plug. The BA123 has its normal DRIVE 0 WP/Ready control
with a different sized connector. Can I adapt it to the RF7x series
drive? How? 
I'm sure it could be done electrically... but I'm running several
DSSI drives on a KFQSA (in a VS3600) with no unit select anything.

...
 	3) DSSI terminators connect to the scsi like DSSI
connector, if I
put a SCSI 2 connector on my cable can I use an active SCSI 2 terminator
instead? 
Do NOT, I repeat, *DO NOT* use a SCSI terminator on a DSSI cable.
