Ultra Wide SCSI-3 bus warning Apple's TIL file #24330 (noted here last time) has this surprising tidbit: "Warning Do not connect any SCSI devices to the external 68-pin SCSI-3 connector...Connecting even one external SCSI device to the external 68-pin connector extends the overall cable length of the SCSI bus beyond the limit for which error-free operation can be guaranteed; the combined length of the internal cable and the external cable reduces the reliability of all the devices connected to the Ultra Wide SCSI-3 bus." (Thanks also to Bob Schulze.)
