OK. It's my own fault. But perhaps somebody can help me back on my
feet...

But how *do* you tell whether those brand new SCSI cables you bought to
hook your shiny new scanner to your system are going to corrupt your
hard disc on bootup, before it happens?


So,
1.  Can anyone recommend a UK source of really reliable SCSI cables, 1
to 1.5 metres long (as they are not normally advertised on the basis of
quality)?

2.  What's the best disc recovery software around for HFS/Sys 7.5.5?
Norton has shrugged its shoulders and walked away, apart from revealing
it has a corrupted name.


Looks like I'll be ordering a copy of Retrospect and a tape drive before
I try the next lot of cables

Incidentally, I observe that my new UMAX scanner's own SCSI cable has a
moulded-on ferrite core. These cores are designed to attenuate
undesireable RF energy escaping from a device. Now, what happens to its
EMC compliance if the scanner is used without this core? If the scanner
is generating RFI out of one port, what happens to its compliance if it
is placed in the middle of a SCSI chain and a further cable is attached
to the other port?


Cheers,
Francis K.
