- Yes, I am using a FD1680 controller with a CDROM external. You need
- a high density SCSI 2 cable. You can either buy a cable from
- Future Domain (expensive] or get one from your nearby computer store
- or mail order cheaper. I have a Toshiba CDROM that has a 50 pin connector.
- Hope this helps.
