Figures 3, 4, and 5 show typical drive connections.
The following table lists the maximum cable lengths and number
of devices using single-ended and LVD I/O circuits allowed on a
daisy-chain cable for 10, 20, and 40 Mtransfers/sec I/O data
transfer rates.
A maximum of 16 devices can be connected on a 16-bit wide
data bus.
