OK, I'm starting to get frustrated.  I'm trying to build my own hard drive
system from a Seagate 238R 30 meg drive, Adaptec 4070 controller, and a
pre-existing powersupply and case.  Sounds easy right?  Well, it was until I
discovered I had no way of connecting the controller to the Mac.  So I got a
DB25 -> SCSI Mac cable and figured I could build a 50 pin IDC connector -> 50
pin ribbon cable -> 50 pin female Centronics style connector (ie female
SCSI).  It didn't sound too difficult since there are no pins to change or
anything nasty.  So I decided to go that route since I couldn't find the
cable I needed anywhere.  I have never built a cable before, buy hey, there's
got to be a first time.  I went to a local electronics store and got
everything (this was actually before I got the SCSI cable) I needed, but when
I got the SCSI cable, I realized the guy at the store had given me a 50 pin
male Centronics style connector (no I didn't look closely to begin with) but
they didn't have any female connectors when I went back.  Neither did any
other store in town.  And I can't find any mail order places that say they
have them (although I haven't had time to call each one and ask yet).  Does
anyone who has done this know where I can get the part I need?  It doesn't
seem that esoteric.

                				Thanks, Adam
