In hopes of using the drives from this box, I'm having a six foot flat wire cable made up (D-style on one end, dual in-line on the other) and we'll see if it works daisy-chained to a HD20SC. In my experience, if the cable is terminated at all the right places, one could comfortably run 25 feet, but I'd stick to Apple's configuration limits to start out! Rob Lake
