I was wondering if anyone knew the particulars about
the PS/2 SCSI
external connector on the model 80 server I have. It appears to be a
miniature high density 60 pin connector, This is totally different than
the standard SCSI 2 or 3 connections that I've seen. Is there an adapter
available to be able to hook it to a standard SCSI I, II or III
cable/connector? I want to be able to use my CDROM towers with it if
possible.
Russ,
That's a Centronics Micro. I have a Asus SC875 (NCR) host adapter that uses
the same connector (great adapter for Linux, BTW.) I got my cable (Cent.
Micro to Cent. Std.) from Datalink, right here in Tulsa. They recently
moved and I don't have the new #, just dial (918) 555-1212 for Tulsa
directory assistance. We've used these guys for years--they do a lot of
"custom" cables, including the IBM PCjr keyboard and serial adapter cables.
If you can describe the connectors, cable and pinouts, they can build it
for you.
One of these days I'm going to call Datalink and have them put together one
of each type of SCSI cable, including internals, for me. Seems like every
time I add a new SCSI device to my system I need a cable I don't have and
can't find in the stores.
Computer City salesman: "Scuzzy? Hmm, what is that, a video card?...Oh,
well, we have the new Enhanced IDE drives and they're really fast! I can
get you one of those cables." Whatever.
