I need some help with connecting a CDROM drive to my Amiga. I've
never actually connected an external SCSI device so... I need
to make sure I know what I'm doing :)

I have:

An A2000 with Internal Supra WordSync SCSI Hard-Drive.
An NEC CDR-36 External CD-ROM drive.

The Supra WordSync manual describes the external port as a DB-25
SCSI port... and states that it follows the Macintosh format
(On the 25-pin connector, pins 7,9,14,16,18, and 24 connect to
ground.. on the 50-pin connector, all odd pins except 25 connect
to ground).

So, I'm assuming I need a DB-25 to Centronics 50 cable to connect the
drive? Anyone else have a CD-ROM drive attached to a WordSync? Perhaps
you could give some suggestions?

Any help would be appreciated!
