- This was not true with my A3000. An internal SCSI ribbon cable needs
- all female connectors. The one C= supplied in my A3000 had 2 female
- and one male connectors. The mail connector was on the end, about
- 1" from the female connector going into the original harddrive. The
- intention seemed to be that the user would buy a cable which was set up
- for one SCSI drive (about 6-10 inches long) and plug it into the end
- (male) of the supplied cable. I hope that the tower A3000's came
- with a couple of useable free SCSI spots on the cable.
