So would I Fred, but I have not found 34 to DC37 adapters readily. The SCSI stuff is out there for easy purchasing - at least for now. Plus many people have drives in cases already w/ 50 pin connectors on them (I have a couple and that is what that cable is being used for) so a DC37 to DC37 cable is no bueno... I have been toying with making a bunch of brackets for odd connectors (I haven't seen a bracket that has holes cut for DC37 for example readily available for purchase). A friend of mine has access to an industrial laser cutter and has told me he would be happy to cut brackets in quantity for free.... -Ali
