This message reminded me I have a challenge with my 9221. It takes
parallel bus and tag cabling. When I bought it, I completely forgot to
catalogue to the cables with the package. You guessed it, I have lots of
terminal cables by not a single bus cable. So there's a CPU, expansion
cage, and 5 drives, but not a thing to connect them together [silent
scream]. Does anyone on the UK side of this list actually have any surplus
parallel bus and tag cabling, or a source for such things? The only way
I've see so far is to have them manufactured for some laughable amount of
money.

Colin

I'd offer to ship some, but I'm a bit far... I haven't looked closely
enough to be sure, but I think that you could just modify the cables
pinout by hand (by moving pins around in the connector) to swap them
between bus and tag cables. You might want to see if you can do that
before bothering to buy some cables.
