Date: Nov 24, 1989 X3T9.2/89-150 To: X3T9.2 Committee (SCSI) From: George Penokie (IBM) Subject: 16 Bit Data Path on a Single 68 pin Connector This is the appendix form of the 16 Bit Data Path on a single 68 pin connector. In an attempt to follow the recommended principles for appendixes (in other words the KISS principle) I have limited the appendix to only include the following: -A short description of the physical interconnect methods. -References to the B cable for all cable, connector, and term power specifications. -Pin outs for the P and Q cables single ended and differential connectors. -No reference to additional SCSI ID addresses. If this is appendix is adopted I would recommend a separated CCS type document be published which incorporates proposal X3T9.2/89- 094Rx. Appendix K - Alternate Connectors for 16/32 Bit Data Path K.1. Physical Description 16/32 bit cabling alternatives: SCSI devices are daisy-chained together using a common 68-conductor P cable and, optionally, a 68-conductor Q cable. Both ends of all cables are terminated. All signals are common between all SCSI devices on the P cable. In systems that employ the Q cable wide SCSI option, wide SCSI devices additionally connect to the Q cable. Various width SCSI devices may be mixed. The A/B cable and P/Q cable alternatives are mutually exclusive within a system. Physical devices with A and A/B cable connectors may be attached to P and P/Q cables. Physical devices with P and P/Q cable connectors shall not be connected to A or A/B cables. K.2. Cabling The P and Q cables shall follow the same specifications for cables and connectors as described for the B cable in Section 4 of this standard. K.3. Terminator Power The P and Q cables shall follow the same specifications for terminator power as described for the B cable in Section 4 of this standard. K.4.
