I would like to connect a scsi cartridge tape drive to my
apollo DN3500 (OS 10.2). I attempted to purchase a scsi port
cable from "instant" apollo and was told that the cable would
be in stock "in Nov. - probably." I don't want to wait that long.

I need a screw large connector (apollo port compatible) at one end,
clip large connector (cartridge tape compatible) at the other end,
high density, about 5 ft. long. Any suggestions as to where/how
to get this cable a.s.a.p. ?

In addition, I would like to be coached on how to configure the
apollo so that I can use the tape. I know this was reviewed in the
last month or so but I didn't know I would need the information
until recently.  THANKS very much for your advice.
