Figures 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d show typical drive connections. The
following table lists the maximum cable lengths and number of
devices with single-ended I/O circuits allowed on a daisy-chain
cable for <10 and <20 M transfers/sec I/O data transfer rates.
Table 4.
Cable characteristics for single-ended circuits
I/O transfer rate
<10 M transfers/s 8 (reg. SCSI bus)
<10 M transfers/s 16 (wide SCSI bus)
<20 M transfers/s 4 (reg./wide SCSI bus) 3 meters (9.8 ft.)
<20 M transfers/s 8 (reg./wide SCSI bus) 1.5 meters (4.9 ft.)
For devices having differential I/O circuits, a maximum cable
length of 25 meters (82 feet) is allowed. A maximum of 8 devices
can be connected on an 8-bit wide data bus, and a maximum of
16 devices can be connected on a 16-bit wide data bus.
