Hi all,

sorry but this question is not Linux-Alpha specific rather a Alpha or maybe
a SCSI question.
I'll like to connect a external scsi tape drive to a pws500 but as you know
the pws500 has a external wide connector and the tape is narrow. Well no
problem I can obtain a adapter 68->50pin to do that. The tape will have a
terminator, thats mean that 50 of 68pins will be terminated by this
terminator BUT what happen with the others 18pins? will be terminated by the
scsi card? or doesn't mather because are not used ?

Thanks in advance.

Rafael Noas
