I was able to find the cable from a list member (Thanks Rick!), but I'm
still having doubts about this thing being SCSI. There is no provision
for setting the ID on the case, and there is no termination or passthru
to continue the SCSI chain. It's possible that it is terminated by the
electronics inside and that the ID is buried inside before too, but I'm
going to have to get very involved to open it up.
Can anybody confirm that the older Bernoulli boxes were SCSI? What
controllers are you using them on?

Does anybody know of a good source for
off-the-wall SCSI cabling? I'd
like to run this from a SCSI 1 or SCSI 2 card, and I have a variety of
cabling that has Centronics or DB25 connectors. But the DB37 is
foreign to me, so I need to find a cable or an adapter for my existing
cables.
The original 5.25" PC2 cable was a DC37F on the controller end and a
50-position "Amphenol"/"Blue
Ribbon"/"Telco"/"Centronics" male at the
far end of the cable that hooked to the drive.
But I've got the ugly suspicion that going from a DB25 to a DC37 is
going to be an exercise for your crimpers and some multiconductor
round cable. It's been a long time since I've seen a DC37
Novell/Procomp SCSI cable.
