Greetings,

Would someone please explain to me the manufacture of
(internal) SCSI 50-pin cables?

I have 2 drives in my system now, and note that the
connector for each drive is on the same side of the cable.
(Which, incidently, is on the other side from the controller
connector.)

To add a third drive do I simply (conceptually) crimp yet
another connector on the same side of the cable as the other
two drive-connectors?

Is that the preferred method?  I seem to remember seeing a
funny looking t-adaptor thingie.  Was it really a t-adaptor
to allow drive chaining, or did it have another use?  Where
do they come from?
