I have an external SCSI drive, which I want to connect to the external SCSI
port of my VAX 4000/60. The SCSI drive has a 50 pin connector. The VAX has a
50 pin centronics female. I'd like a cable to go between the two.
My point in posting was to avoid having to construct a cable (which I've
done previously, and no longer have the cable), or purchase one at inflated
prices.
By 50 pin SCSI do you mean the 50 pin header on the
drive? The 50 pin
Centronics IS SCSI-1 as far as I know. If you wish to go from a 50 pin
SCSI-1 (centronics) to a 50 pin female header (as what goes to the drive)
then just get a 50 conductor ribbon, then a female IDC/IDS header and an
IDC/IDS centronics connector. Use a workbench vise carefully to crimp them
down and make sure pin 1 of the header is connected to pin 1 of the
Centronics.
