Gary,
So your drive is a 68-pin drive and you've got it hooked to a 50-pin
cable? That is what I need. Where could I find such a beast? Are they
sold new by any place that you know of? Or is it something I'm likely to
find on Ebay?

They are now pretty available, if the computer dealer sticks any sort of
SCSI stuff. I know of a couple places in Kansas City that stock them as
a rule. When I first got the SCSI-3 drive, these adapters were over $50
each; being frugal, I wouldn't part with that for a plastic connector.
A year or so later they came down to $15, still expensive but more
realistic in my eyes and to my wallet.
You might try Dalbani electronics, or maybe Jameco; they stock quite a
selection of odd stuff like that. If you are stuck, I can pick up one
for you next time I go to KC. E-bay might have one listed, but you'd
probably pay more than they are worth.
