Are there speed limits on different SCSI cables (e.g., DB68, DB50,
centronic 50)? I have a ultra-wide scsi card but I don't have any DB68
cable or ultra-wide scsi HD. I bought a converter to convert db68 to db50
scsi cable. Just wonder if using converter would make the scsi slower than
using its own scsi cable. Maybe it does not matter since my drive is not
ultra-wide anyway.


Let me ask in another way if my question is unclear. Compare scenario 1
with scenario 2 below, will scenario 1 HD run slower than scenario 2
because it has to go thru conversion?

<=> means connection

1)
Ultra-wide SCSI Card <=> SCSI converter (from 68pin to 50pin) <=> 50pin
SCSI cable <=> SCSI converter (from 68pin to 50pin) <=> external ultra-wide
SCSI HD

2)
SCSI Card <=> 68pin SCSI cable <=> external ultra-wide SCSI HD
