Hi,

I have a 2xL and I want to connect my HD to it for storage..

What kind of SCSI cable do I need and what kind of HD..

Any suggestions?

TY

well i hate to be the guy who says it first since it doesnt answer your direct question.

but get a card reader since you have the XL. SCSI harddrives are slow compared to CF cards, and are just as expensive to buy.

but the cable you get should match the pin layout on the back of the XL, and the other end should match the pins on the HDD.

I belife nicole has one installed in the XL, but an external might be diffrent.

check out SCSIforsamplers.com i belife, they should have the stuff you need. once you know what you need, hit up the local PC shop and ebay.

Peace,

Rob

PS- get the card reader, its about the same amount of money and saves alot of headaches man trust me.

Tnx I should check that out,

Does anyone here has some experience with SCSI to Usb cables?

I'm thinking about using that..
