search I run people talk about the cable being "SCSI" but that doesn't<br>
really tell me what the card is doing. The Digi001 card does happen to<br>
have fiber optic ports on it so it may very well be a hybrid card.<br>
Information is just too sparse to figure it out but my guess, given that<br>
all power is supplied through the cable, is that it's probably not SCSI<br>
at all. The SCSI specification only ever allowed bus power to operate a<br>
terminator never an actual device. Eight preamps and optical drivers<br>
would require much more than the bus could supply.<br>
