We have an IBM RS6000/320 and want to try third party external disk on it. Does anyone have the pinout of that odd 60pin connector IBM uses for SCSI? On a similar subject, anyone else out there had success putting third party disk on a RS6000 and making it work? Dana Roode DRoode@uci.edu UC Irvine

The machine is quite intelligent in handling SCSI disks, unfortunately it doesn't carry over to the SCSI tape drive interface :-( If you don't get a response to your pinout query let me know and I'll test the pins of my cable (non-IBM) while I'm doing my spring-semester preparations in early January. This is assuming I don't receive death threats from "Cable Manufacturers of the World". -John jpe@egr.duke.edu
