Re: Quick SCSI question ;)

Ok, you will need a cable with a terminator at one end, and at least 3
connectors on it (one at the end for the card and two more for the
drives) if you are looking to chain it up.  Your current cable most
likely has another connection on it.  You will also need to change the
ID of your new drive.  Now, you can go the other route of getting a
single device cable if you choose and hook it up to the other chanel,
but be careful, some cards are only one channel, but have multiple
connections, and others share connections.
