wide) 8-bit data bus using a terminated 68-pin to 50-pin SCSI
cable.
Figures 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d show typical drive connections. The
following table lists the maximum cable lengths and number of
devices with single-ended I/O circuits allowed on a daisy-chain
cable for <
10 and <20 M transfers/sec I/O data transfer rates.
For devices having differential I/O circuits, a maximum cable
length of 25 meters (82 feet) is allowed. A maximum of 8 devices
can be connected on an 8-bit wide data bus, and a maximum of
16 devices can be connected on a 16-bit wide data bus.
