If you can't buy a ready-made one, how about making your own cable(s)?

You can buy IDC 50-pin D connectors which can be crimped directly onto
regular 50-wire ribbon cable - just crimp on a regualr female 50-pin
header connector to the other end (making sure of the pin-1 alignment for 
both connectors) and you have a custom-made 'old'-SCSI cable.

T&B Ansley are the only company that makes IDC 50-pin D connectors though,
but the major electronics retailers in the US (our local Australian
retailers are pretty bad) should carry them, or else check with a
specialist distributor of T&B products.

As a last resort, places like Farnell and RS (do they exist in the US?) 
carry them, but at inflated prices.

Craig.
