Scsi cables - which ones?
Is there any specific scsi cables that you need to get when connecting a tape drive or external storage or does one type of cable fit all?
ie. I can buy the following:
HD68 to HD68 with Ferrites supports S-E Ultra/Wide transfer rates.
But will this work for tape drives and storage?
I havent a clue about scsi cables so any help/info would be appreciated.

NAME
ammt - Amanda version of mt
SYNOPSIS
ammt [ -d ] [ -f|-t device ] command [ count ]

Ammt also provides access to the Amanda output drivers that support various tape simulations.
See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda. See the OUTPUT DRIVERS section of amanda(8) for more information on the Amanda
output drivers.
