Don�t forget that SCSI has impedance calibration on the cable
(Terminators) and IDE doesn�t.
I think if you all want to use largue cables on this network it will
require terminators or
impedance control circuits. (No I don�t forgot that SCSI is a bus , but
SCSI need terminators
even when there is only 2 dispositives connected to the bus.)
