I'm going to claim this is on topic since it's
for my SPARCStation2
which is 10 years old.
To make a (semi-)long story short, I've come to the conclusion that I
need a SCSI1 to SCSI3 adapter with high byte termination to connect a
wide IBM SCSI drive to the narrow SCSI controller in my SS2. The only
IDC50M to MD68M adapter I've found doesn't have the termination.
There's a nice little adapter out there but it's got female connectors
on both ends. I could try to assemble something with gender changers,
but I'm afraid I'd end up spending more than I did on the drive for a
Frankenstien that I'm not even sure would work.
So my question is, does anyone know where to find an adapter with male
connectors? Or, for that matter, has anyone dealt with this sort of
thing and have a better suggestion?

Your question is answered in part 1 of the far in the section
"Can I connect a WIDE device to my narrow SCSI host adapter?"
