I am not sure if anyone has mentioned this site:

!ACK! sorry... that should be http://www.cableseast.com
I did a search awile ago for 80-pin adaptors, and at $15 each, they were the
cheapest I could find.

P.S. I only found this site awhile ago. I haven't bought anything from them
yet...
should fit into its canister. Another application
is with a WIDE (68-pin,
single-ended) controller I've been using.
I've got a 9GB LVD drive with a SCA connector in my DEC PWS 433au by
converting it down to 68-pin with one of these adapters and setting the
jumpers on the drive to SE. Works great.
Has any of you had experience with this sort of
thing to such extent that
you'd care to recommend a specific adapter for the first application, and an
adapter/terminator for the second?
I'd say take a look at some place like http://www.scsistuff.com I'm sure
there are others, but that's the only one I know off the top of my head
(I've not ordered from them though). I bought my converter at a local
electronics parts store and payed about twice what I should have. It's
pretty basic, and you can also get ones that convert down to Narrow. I
wouldn't worry to much about the manufacturer for this.
I'm not sure why you're worried about a terminator, but if you can't set
termination on the drive, you should be able to get a terminator that you
can clip onto the ribbon cable in one of the spots where you'd normally
plug a drive.
