Thanks again Eric. Must be nice to have a place like Fry's handy. I practically fainted when *the* local electronics outfit actually had a 50 pin IDC connector.:) It turns out that the original cables we thought were MAC external SCSI cables were something else entirely. We got another one in with a Floptical drive, which I used for reference. They didn't match up at all. Oh well, that was the last of the 4 we had. I had been chopping the 50 pin end & hard wiring it to a 50 pin header via a small board. Ugly, but functional. It also makes a handy test jig around the shop. The minitower cases we've used had DB25 knockouts on the back panel. Seems like attacking a couple of those with a MotoTool & enlarging them to Centronics 50 would work. Jim
