David -

I don't claim to be a SCSI "genius" but I do have enough experience with it to know that it's a very complex technology. When you're dealing with SCSI devices, every link in the chain is important, from the cables to the SCSI controllers, to the drives and the terminators.

I have never before seen a recommendation that the fastest device in the SCSI chain should be last. I'm sure Iomega has some reason for saying that. It is possible that with your current configuration you will not be getting the fastest possible transfer rates from your Jaz drive.

However, if your system is working fine as is, I see no reason for you to go out and spend more money on another cable. As you say, SCSI cables and adapters are very expensive.
