That's fantastic--Did you "roll your own" or special order them from
someplace? How much did they cost? I was also wondering about using
ribbon with twisted pairs (like some old DEC MicroVax used to use for
internal SCSI) but I would expect it to be expensive per foot. The
bottom line would be how much it costs with the special cables vs. just
going with SCSI.
