[rescue] Re: SCA Cables

Shaun--

Most applications that I've seen where SCA drives =

are used, the drives plug directly into a backplane,
like the Sun storage array devices, and even the
Sun Ultra10, Ultra60, E250, etc.  The only machines
I've seen where the SCA drive is cabled somewhere is
the SparStation 4 and SparcStation 5.  So these =

cables are short little thingies that basically
only got from the motherboard to the drive-- about
an inch or so. And these guys are male on both end.
In the photo on the site, the upper connector is =

facing away from the camera.  I can't say I've
ever seen another SCA cable...  I have run SCA
drives, though, on 50 pin and 68 pin cables with
SCA to xx pin adapters without any problems...
