Dear Mr. Mattox,

Thank you for your phone call clarifying that the SCSI 
Terminators and Cables in your ad use the low-density SCSI-1 and 
SCSI-2 shielded connectors.

I assumed that these were high-density connectors.  When I called 
Cablelink to confirm which connector was used, the sales clerk at 
first did not understand my question.  When I asked if these 
connectors were the same ones as used on the IBM PS/2 Host 
Adapter she said, "Yes."

As you probably know, IBM has elected to use a non-standard high-
density ribbon design for this product.  Since I knew Robinson 
Nugent also makes a high-density ribbon connector, I reach the 
wrong conclusion that these cables use high-density ribbon 
connectors.  I apologize for suggesting that they use a non-
standard connector.  


Sincerely,




John Lohmeyer, Chairman X3T9.2
