Also, about
half of the external SCSI boxes use a weird oversized-D SCSI
connector (I think it might be an early SCSI 1 format) that I haven't been
able to find cables for either. I'm not as bothered about those, but if
anybody knows where I can find them (and adapters to SCSI2, which is what
all the controllers use) cheaply, that would be cool too.
What kind of connector is it? How many pins, what does it measure? The SUN
SCSI boxes I've encountered have either used Mini-DB50 (modern ones) or
Centronics-50 (big old ones).
Older Sun stuff also used a big connector with 3 rows of pins. I have a bit
of it, but generally don't bother with it, leaving it for a fellow I know
who is into Sun 360 type boxes.
