Any reason a 25-wire _ribbon_ cable wouldn't be useful for this?

The main thing
to worry about when the DB25 is involved
is that the cable that is used is scsi certified. The round cable
that is usually used between the two connectors if it is there
has a special way of positioning the req and ack signals
Yes, I can recall the cross-sectional illustration of the
cable (I have the SCSI-2 spec here along with ENDL's bench
reference...). No, Jim, I wouldn't be inclined to use an
RS232 cable to connect the two DB25's! :>
