The 16 data signals are all on wires next to each other. That's why the cable had to be short and 16MB/sec was the maximum you could get out of it. That was fixed with the 80wire cables. Still using a 40pin plug though. Yes, you’re as always right :-) My bad. I recall the whole row of pins being grounded when I checked the pinouts some twenty years ago and I thought it was in 40pin PATA. But it must have been 50pin SCSI. Anyway - I stand corrected. -- SD!
