Title: SCSI adaptor for x68000 VI Compact?
Post by: Psygnosis8 on November 03, 2014, 10:44:05 AM
Hey, guys.  I'm trying to do an external cf mod on my x68k compact.  I have a SCSI enclosure, but there's a problem.  The connector port on it is not compatible with the SCSI port on the actual x68k.

You can see in the attached pictures what the port on the enclosure looks like, and what the one on the x68k looks like.  Anybody know what these ports are called and whether I can get an adaptor for them? 

Thanks In advance!

Thanks for the reply.  Now which one is the micro centronics 50? The one in the x68k or the SCSI enclosure?

Bump!

I'm looking to get a micro centronics 50 male-to SCSI 2 (HD-50) male cable or adaptor, and I'm having trouble finding one on the web (I'm trying to connect a Jaz drive to the XVI compact.)  Anybody know where to get one (or would be willing to solder one for me? I have a HD-50 to Centronics 50 cable that could be used for parts...)

You can find the cable by searching yahoo auctions.
