864.0. "SCSI on a 1000a pedestal" by HAMMAR::MONTAQUILA (Cover me, I'm changing lanes!) Fri Mar 28 1997 12:02

    Need a sanity check, please.
    
    does the 1000a ped. have an external 68hd connection to continue the
    SCSI bus external?

     NO. 
    There is a 50pin HD connector, but we advise not to use it unless there
    is no other option. If you are using the entire internal backplane,
    there is only about 1/2 meter left to connect an external device. 
    Also, the termination on the end of the narrow bus, ie...after the
    added external device MUST BE ACTIVE !! A passive terminator will cause
    problems.
    
     I don't have a cross-reference in fornt of me, but there are plenty
    other notes in this notesfile that disccus this issue.
