Hi,

  I have an easy for you: We have an Alphastation 500 workstation. It has
a fast-wide SCSI. We have a wide internal disk and the standard CD-ROM
(Toshiba?). I'd like to connect a *narrow* fast SCSI device to the SCSI
bus (external). I do not plan to use external wide devices. Pre-sales
statements:

A. No, it does not work (can't mix wide and narrow), and will not in the near
   future
B. Works with a special adapter
C. Works with a cable that goes from the 68pin connector (back of the machine)
   to the centronics that I have on the external drive (BN32-W-01)

  Which is the right answer?

Thanks,
  Gyula
