Thanks. Sadly, as the listing says:

WE DO NOT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY!!!

Not very helpful of them, but that is quite common with US companies,
especially since the USPS stopped offering surface post. That crippled
one of my favourite sites, www.bookmooch.com
So does it need to be that DEC-specific cable? Nothing else uses that
size of external SCSI connector, or is the wiring nonstandard?
And what kind of cable do I need to attach 50-pin SCSI drives
internally to the SCSI card's 104-pin connector?

You might
need a special cable for the external SCSI.. as its got a funny connector on the computer
end.? I found one on ebay.
I might be able to improvise one - I have a lot of SCSI cables. I used
to run a lot of SCSI kit, although almost none is left now. A whole
pile of it went to a collector off this very list, in fact... (Hi,
