The ordinary cable for an external CD-ROM is Centronix 50/DB-25,
and for the duo, you need a dock and an adapter to go from its HDI-30 to
the DB-25. A SCSI dock, much like your floppy adapter, except with HDI-30,
will do just as well for this. The best, of course, is the Newer UltraDock
16sce which does everything.
