The card is wide SCSI... the internal side has both wide and narrow.
You can get a 50 pin ribbon cable to PC slot cover with a either a 50 pin
SCSI2 connector or one of those DB25 SCSI connectors used by the old Mac's
and early PC's to bring the 50 pin bus external.
Either that or I may have a 2940 Narrow interface here that I'd swap.

internal connector would have a 68-pin connector on the external bracket.
It also came as a bit of a surprise to me that when I pulled out my box of
those cards I found that even though all three of them had the same model
number that they were apparently three different cards...

If I'm right that you're running a 2940W (or 2940UW or 2940U2W) instead
of a 2940, the cable you're looking for is HONDA68 -> HONDA50 *with
high-byte termination*.
