Re: Quick SCSI question ;)

Thanks for the answer.

I was under the mistaken impression, by looking at an external SCSI
enclosure, that all SCSI drives had two connectors on back. As in, one cable
goes to the drive, then another cable plugs into the other connector, goes
to another drive, etc until you terminate it somewhere I am completely
wrong, aren't I? ;)
