A quantum tech told me the maximum lenght for a scsi chain is 59'. Although, I think it was QwikSand here who said I'd be fine at 10'. My shortest test configuration where the Jaz failed with one other 50 pin device was a wee bit over 59'. So lenght is certainly a possible area I am looking to improve on. Scott Mueller's book "Upgrading and Repairing PCs" says the maximum cable length is 6 meters when using fast SCSI at 5 megabytes per second and 3 meters when using fast SCSI at 10 megabytes per second. As the maximum transfer rate of a one gigabyte Jaz is approximately 5 megabytes per second cable length is not a problem for you.
