Several people have attached third-party SCSI disks to their 6000s, in
fact one poster brought up a 6000 with 3rd-party SCSI disks *only*.  The
machine is quite intelligent in handling SCSI disks, unfortunately it
doesn't carry over to the SCSI tape drive interface :-(

If you don't get a response to your pinout query let me know and I'll
test the pins of my cable (non-IBM) while I'm doing my spring-semester
preparations in early January.  This is assuming I don't receive death
threats from "Cable Manufacturers of the World".
