Re: Akai service manuals + two internal scsi drives

2004-08-31 by formals777

Mattias,

I don't know if your cable is long enough to support the two drives. I
so, you could press another connector on the cable (if you're familiar
with that). 
Theoretically it is possible to extend the cable, but then you need to
make a scsi cable with two female and a male connector. As you know,
scsi is very sensitive and scsi adapters are easy to break.
