internal sca cable?

In a previous post I had asked about putting a 1.5" hard drive in a
sparcstation 5. I am now thinking I could accomplish something similar
with an internal sca cable. Is such a cable made? Thanks!

I've never seen one. That doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist,
but I've seen a lot of cables.

You might want to take a look at the SCSI adapters from e.g.
www.ultraspec.com (Ultra Spec Cables). They have a "SCA80F to MD68F" thingy.
While I haven't bought such from them, I have found all of their SCSI and
serial cables to be of high quality.

Yes, ofcourse there are SCA cables, eg:

But frankly, you can have a 36GB disk for 10USD more, and a number of
9 or 18GB disks for a lot less than that, so WHY BOTHER?

BTW, they are 1.6" drives.
