What you need is the Adaptec AHA-2940U2W. I saw it at Comdex with a 12
meter cable connected to an external hard drive (if I remember correctly).
Supposedly, you can also use your normal Ultra and Ultra Wide devices with
this controller. And yes, it is differential SCSI controller.
I don't know if it is already shipping, but if not, I think that it should
be available this month.
