[SunRescue] wtb sbus ethernet, help, 411 case

Anybody ever had a 411 case (open-front) where the internal devices
refused to show up on a scsi chain?  I've got my setup like this:

Ultra10 -> 68pin to HD50 scsi cable -> 411 -> HD50 to Centronics scsi cable ->
	Seagate St15150N in external enclosure

When I do a probe-scsi-all, I get:
	id 1: Seagate 34572N (internal 4gig scsi)
	id 2: Seagate 15150N (external 4gig scsi)
	id 6: Plextor PX12CS (internal cdrom)

But, no ID 4, which is my external Plextor cd burner.

I replace the 411 enclosure with a Apple external SCSI CD-ROM
enclosure, and put the Plextor in it, and everything shows up fine.

I'm guessing the ribbon cable to the SCSI connectors in the 411 might
be bad?

On another note, I'm looking for a sbus 10baseT card; I got a SS2 in
today (Thanks, Fred from Data Instruments - for $30 I got a MINT condition
SS2 with 32mb of 4mb SIMMs, a 200mb HD, and a CG3 - this thing looks almost
brand new) and will be using it as a firewall/NAT box for my home network;
probably running OpenBSD or NetBSD.  Even SBUS AUI would be okay; I've
got plenty of transceivers.
