Hi,

Can you tell me what is the difference between a Single ended SCSI,
Diferential SCSI and a Enhanced diferential SCSI.

If I have a single ended tape drive can I plug it to either of the
differential SCSI adapter?

Thanks TohS

No, there are electrical differences between "Differential" and
"Single Ended". Differential uses positive and negative voltages
on differing wire pairs for each signal. This has the effect that
you can have MUCH longer cable lengths.

"Single Ended" has a Ground/Signal wire pair for each signal.

You can only use Single Ended devices on Single Ended buses
and vice versa.
