What cables does the Pioneer need? I am in the process of clearing out 27 years
of collection of misc computer stuff in preparation for a move at some point in
the near or semi near future. To that end, I will have lots and lots of older
stuff that I can't really be bothered to even try to move on eBay. 

One thing I've don in the past was to put a device on the SCSI chain that I
didn't even need simply because I had a cable that would go from the HBA to
that device and another cable from that device to the one I really wanted to
connect, but not the dedicated cable from the HBA to the end device. Some of
the older SCSI externals were great for that type of interconnect. Sometimes I
left the old drive mounted, other times I just disconnected the cable bracket
from the drive in the external box and used it as a large cable connector. 

But let me know what cable you might be needing and I might have one laying
around here. 

Thanks for clarifying as it sounded like you were trying to get the Pioneer
working where the NEC used to be, but couldn't make it go after acquiring the
cable.

Ick... yeah... I concur.

I've never been certified in anything. But can setup and run damn near
anything.

 SD> And for David:

Don't forget that your HBA needs to have a number assigned to it.
