You don't really need the manual, since it says the same thing (practically
nothing) in about four languages. Looks like you do need some advice though.
The port on the back of each Unidisk is precisely for daisychaining the
drives together. The only hard disk you can connect to these drives or
their card is a Chinook "c" hard disk. And the cable and port are a long
way from being an RS232 connector too.
