Those cables are actually a standard SCSI (albeit very old) The same connector
is also used on IPI drives in Sun systems. Are you sure the drive you are
connecting to is SCSI? Are you sure the cable is SCSI and not IPI? (I wonder if
there is a difference? Dave?)

I have had success using these cables/connectors with newer sun boxes. Since I
have a bunch of 3rd party boxes and a pile of various cables :)
