> (discussion about errors being probable with too long a cable)

Just having obtained a SH205 with a 85cm cable (here in Holland it is prohibited
by law to use inches) I followed Landon's suggestion in a simplified way: just
2000 times 'cmp aap noot >> mies' with aap, noot identical 64K files.  Cmp did
not report any errors on this 256M data transfer in spite of various lamps,
a monitor etc. being switched in the neighbourhood.  And I rather like the 
longer cable.
