The only cabling for scsi in the machine is for the drive in the middle
attached to the main board, by a quick-release handle thingy (getting
technical). I can see where the two drives and the cd rom should go but
there is no cabling for them, or the floppy. Are the cables fairly standard
or should I go an buy another sparc for the same money as a cable ?
