Cancel that, I need a good knock in the noggin. When I sat down and re-examined the cable I realized that the wide connector simply had an adapter on it. I should be able to swap jumpers on the tape drive to turn off termination there and then flip the cable (minus the adapter) and I'll be set. Thanks guys, Josiah
