If it's not going to be simply spread out accross
the table, then I
would rather use DC37, not HD50 and 50 pin Blue Ribbon ("Centronics")
34 to DC37 in the PC.
DC37 to DC37 from PC to drive case
FDADAP inside the 8" drive case.
ALL drive cabling done with connectors that are normally used for
floppies; no "SCSI" connectors to confuse the unwary.
So would I Fred, but I have not found 34 to DC37 adapters readily. The SCSI
stuff is out there for easy purchasing - at least for now. Plus many people
have drives in cases already w/ 50 pin connectors on them (I have a couple
and that is what that cable is being used for) so a DC37 to DC37 cable is no
bueno...
I have been toying with making a bunch of brackets for odd connectors (I
haven't seen a bracket that has holes cut for DC37 for example readily
available for purchase). A friend of mine has access to an industrial laser
cutter and has told me he would be happy to cut brackets in quantity for
free....
