[SunRescue] SparcbookSCSI cable?

[David Bryant]

Bob,

I've got an odd-ball cable here in my collection. It's got a small 26 (two X thirteen) pin HD (High Density) male connector on one end and a 50 pin (two x twentyfive) socket HD female connector on the other end. The female (50) end mates with a standard HD 50 SCSI male connector, but I've been unable to determine what the other end would go to. It's got the same sort of clips (not screws) that the HD 50 SCSI connectors use. Both ends have nice hefty metal AMP hoods. 

At first I suspected it was some sort of an Apple SCSI cable, but if the SparcBook has a female26 (not 34 or 36) socket this cable might be what you're looking for. I'd be happy to send it on to you.

Let me know.

David
