- In keeping with the Usenet tradition of posting articles when you don't
- know what the hell you're talking about, let me say this:
-
- I think Sun took a gamble trying to do single-ended Fast SCSI and it's turning
- out not to work too well. Maybe you can do it with just an internal drive and
- one external on a 1/2 meter cable and an active terminator or FPT, but if you
- want to do Fast SCSI, I think you should just get a separate Sbus differential
- SCSI host adapter and buy peripherals with differential SCSI.
