By 50 pin SCSI do you mean the 50 pin header on the drive? The 50 pin
Centronics IS SCSI-1 as far as I know. If you wish to go from a 50 pin
SCSI-1 (centronics) to a 50 pin female header (as what goes to the drive)
then just get a 50 conductor ribbon, then a female IDC/IDS header and an
IDC/IDS centronics connector. Use a workbench vise carefully to crimp them
down and make sure pin 1 of the header is connected to pin 1 of the
Centronics.

Subject: 50 pin SCSI to 50 pin centronics
does anyone have a cable that has 50 pin SCSI on one side and a
50 pin male
centronics on the other side? I need to connect an alternate boot
disk to my
VS 4000/60, and I don't want to mess with the existing drives, and it'll
only be temporary while I try to fix my mistake in VMS, so it
won't be in a
box or anything...
