The person I have heard about who was doing this, however, is one of the major experts on cabling systems and noise and stuff like that, so this is probably one of those things that is in the "kids, don't try this at home" category. I don't have a reference to this, since I got it from my boss, who was a speaker at the recent SCSI seminar in New England, and he got it from one of the other speakers, who was the cable guru in question. I'm also not sure that it was 100 feet. It might have been 100 *meters*! Tim Smith
