After searching every available text/manual about SCSI(products) I still
can't find an answer to a very simple question:
What type of cable do I have to use to connect SCSI devices?
In detail, does a (un)shielded 50wire flatcable do the job and up to
which maximum length. Or do I need a shielded  50wire twisted cable.
Any other possibilities? I _know_ there are ready made SCSI cables available
but they are 1) much too expensive 2) here in the Netherlands nobody even
ever heard about such a thing and I'm getting tired of explaining just
what a SCSI cable is. I would much prefer the flatcable with press on
connectors to be a viable solution but I'm not shure if it's all right.
ANY HELP APPRECIATED!
