CMI 2X external drive box

2005-05-24 by James Thomson

Hi Guys,

I have just bought a 8 " floppy drive which is in its own external powered
case. The idea is that I want to use this drive for my sound disks but have
it in front of me, most likely on the CMI keyboard itself.
 Do any of you know what is the longest cable I can run from the CMI
mainframe to this external drive ? I will keep the drives in  the CMI as
they are but unhook drive 1 ( drive 0 is the system floppy ) and extend the
50 pin connector to the external box. I was thinking that a 50 pin SCSI
cable might be the best solution.
 I know that everyone is asleep here at the moment bit I would appreciate
some help with this. :-)
Thanks!

Regards,
