- I have a 3/60 with a shoebox. I was having major problems with
- disk writes and finally figured that the SCSI cable was bad.
- So I replace it with a ten-foot ribbon cable with an IDC DB-50
- connector at each end -- the disk works great! My problem now is
- that I can't read or write to the SCSI tape. Anybody got a clue
- what the problem is -- cable too long, wrong type, bad connection,
- bad tape drive, ...?
