Feb 18, 2014 at 16:24 comment added Pierre To both of you: oops, I remember now that the question was definitely about finite sequences. Let me edit the question (and think a little first). I have to say that the student came to me with this question several months ago, and I was only now putting on MO...
Feb 18, 2014 at 16:06 comment added Dag Oskar Madsen And in the category of vector spaces, you can let $X_n=Y_n=V$ for all $n$ (where $V$ is a fixed vector space)and alternate $0$ and identity in two different ways to get exact sequences $X_\bullet$ and $Y_\bullet$ with no possible isomorphism between them.
Feb 18, 2014 at 15:47 comment added YCor I'm not sure what you mean about f.g. abelian groups, but if you consider a bi-infinite sequence with $X_n=Z/4Z$ for all integers $n\in Z$, you can choose either all morphisms to be multiplication by 2, or all morphisms to be alternatively 0 or identity, in order to get non-isomorphic exact sequences. Maybe your remark about f.g. abelian groups concerns finite sequences?
