I found from Roys original posting that he wants a
cable for the 2940 to
the Yamaha CRW4260tx .
I found that current ebay auction 190035478281 is of that external box.
The 2940 takes a 50 pin external cable to a 50 pin on the back of the
Yamaha external box.
The 2940U or 2940UW would need the 68 pin external, or would have
an internal 68 pin connector + a 50 pin connector. The 2940 does not.
Hm. I was of the impression that the connector on the 2940(?) was wider than
the one on the external drive box, but I also see that the two 2940s I have
in my spares are using two different kinds of connectors -- one of those is
definitely a "uw", the other one is apparently not. If necessary I can
change out the one that's currently in the box for the one with the smaller
(50-pin?) connector on it.
I offered to send the cable to him off list,
Since you jumped right in there, I wasn't going to say anything about that
on-list unless you chose to. :-)
but if someone is closer, or wants to superceed, let
me know. I plan to
send one to him in the next day or two, unless something comes up.
I'm looking forward to it, since you nailed the drive pretty good.
