- Since the 25 pin SCSI connector is an Apple abomination, you might try
- asking some Mac dealers if they know about the existence of such cables.
-
- Personally, I steer clear of using the 25 pin interface, since it's
- non-standard, but I don't think you'll have too many problems finding sa
- source of adapter cables/boxes/etc.
-
- I don't suggest you try to make your own unless you can get accurate
- information on which pins on Apple's 25 pin spec correspond to the ANSI
- 50 pin spec. Maybe someone else may have this and be able to post it
- here?
