Hallo, some mails ago a very helpful person from SGI answered to my question concerning the external SCSI connectors at the PI and the HU-XSCSI that they are identical. That was a very precious information for me. Thank you very much. If you want to increase my debts even more, could you please also answer the second (or was it first) part of my original question: what kind of connector is used? 50-pin-3row-female-d-type, 50-or-more-pin-centronics-like or others? As I have neither a PI nor the HU-XSCSI (which I ordered) at hand to look at the connector, this information would be great to obtain the correct external cable for my brand new disc-box. I probably will also need the pin assignment (just to be sure both sides have the same idea of SCSI cabling), but only if it isn't to much trouble for you to put it into the computer. Many thanks in advance Martin Knoblauch <xbr2d96d@ddathd21.bitnet>

SGI also sells an external cable, although such cables can usually be obtained from your local computer supply store. markb -- Mark Bradley "Faster, faster, until the thrill of I/O Subsystems speed overcomes the fear of death."
