I have sff 8087 cables. What is the difference between sff 8088 and sff 8087? Can I use the sff 8087 cables? Or do I must buy sff 8088 cables?

SFF-8087 is internal minisas cable.
SFF-8088 is external minisas cable.

Heck. They look totally different. So I need to buy a set of sff 8088 cables.

My IBM M1015 has sff 8087 cables. Which means I need to convert the IBM cards sff 8087 to sff 8088 for the chassis. Argh.

Well, thanx for your help. I have found a converter now.

You probably need internal to external connections on both sides. With an 8080 cable in between. There are cables/adapters for this.
