  Actually, Ultra SCSI (aka: Fast-20) is limited to 1.5 meters,
end-to-end.
There is work under way, and products to be announced shortly that will
greatly alleviate the short daisy-chain cabling problems... Up to
67-meters
end-to-end for single-ended Fast-Wide-Ultra SCSI.. But that's a whole
other story...
