Chuck,
Are these dumb adapters that just convert 34 to 50 or do they so more then that? Thanks.

going the FDADAP route; more convenient for sure.
But the majority of the 34- and 50-pin signals actually line up 1 to
? 1 when aligned pin 34 to pin 50; as a matter of fact I have a system
that uses the same 34-pin cable to connect to both, with just a
jumper or two to select 5 or 8" (the index signal is one IIRC).
I've still got a couple of the Microsolutions "adapter cards" with 50-
and 34-pin headers.?? They work in reverse as well.
