Maximum SCSI BUS Lengths
The SCSI bus may not exceed the maximum lengths listed in Table 2-1. The
limitations listed in this table are for 8-bit data path SCSI devices. Wide
SCSI (16-bit data path) is not supported by the FlashPoint LT host adapter.
The total length of the SCSI bus is made up of all the cables that interconnect
the FlashPoint to all the devices in the daisy chain configuration including
the length of the internal ribbon cable, if it is used (see Figure 2-8). If the
SCSI bus exceeds the recommended length, the SCSI devices may display
unpredictable behavior.
