ISTR I did consider that possibility, but never got a round tuit so it 
wasn't tried.  I bought a TC^3 instead.  Then I had to make up a longer 
cable, so its all there now.

I'd add that I've got an old, slow scsi cdrom drive, and adding it to 
the new cable also kills the system, won't even boot.  I  haven't dug 
into the why nots on that either.  Need 36 hour days at times.  And at 
71, sometimes even a 24 hour day seems to be too long.
