I can't find *anywhere* ( and I have bee to several shops) a SCSI cable over 2 meters. Operating the Pictor is a real pain at the moment with the cable lengths. Having an extra long head cable will not help, the other cables (RS232 and CCD) will need to be long too. The best solution is the extra long SCSI cable.

That, and a SCSI interface for my latop (groan).
