New subject: SCSI switch box?

19 Mar 2009

Hi Gary thanks for the reply! I went to the electronic city web site and did not see any
scsi switches.  Any idea what model number I'm looking for and what price I should
expect to pay?  I also posted links to two switches below. Do you think these will work
just as good?

Only one of my S760 has the video upgrade so I don't think a video switch will help
me, right?

Thanks again,

Ken

 We've been using 8 760s on 1 SCSI buss for years successfully... You'll 
 need 2 boxes, 1 for SCSi and 1 for video, both with an 8 selector pot..
 You can order them from Electronic City in Burbank if you're in LA or 
 check your local Radio Shack.

 Would like to share one scsi HD with multiple S-760s.

 Here is one such switch box. This claims to be an actual SCSI switch with CN50 cables
supported.

 Here is a DB25 box that is usually used for parallel printers, but it uses the same DB25
connector that is on the back of the S760 so I'm not sure why it wouldn't work.

 Also, is there an actual difference between SCSI and parallel DB25 cables? I understand
that you should not interface one with the other, but is the actual DB25 cable itself
different? The reason I ask is because parallel cables are so much cheaper.

 Thanks in advance!
