There exists out there somewhere (at least there used to - someone on
this list bought one previously at a computer show) a connector adapter
that fits into a PC expansion slot case opening. On the internal side
of it connects a ribbon with a standard 50 pin connector. On the
external side is a 50 pin dense socket to connect, in my case, a Jaz
drive cable.
If anyone knows where to purchase one of these items, please forward me
a name, phone number (or address or whatever), so that I can buy one.
I recently purchased a Buslogic BT-958 and need this item to hook up my
Jaz drive. At least this seems like a clean way to set things up to me.
But then I'm new with SCSI devices. Is there another way that to
connect up the Jaz drive? If an adapter to convert the 68 pin external
socket to a 50 pin dense connection were used, would this result in
speed loss for SCSI-3 devices on the same chain or other side affects
such as termination problems?
Any help or pointers anyone can give is appreciated.
Thank you,
David
