Note I have been using my CMS cable with my setup since 1986 and solved
all problems when I changed from the CMS SCSI to the RAM Fast in 1990.  I
am still using my original CMS Cable and CMS Hard Drive Power supply.  My
original 20 meg hard drive failed in 1991 and I have since relaced the 20
in the CMS case with a 100 meg conner in the same case.  This setup works
fine for me.
