While I greatly appreciate the hacker's impulse, wouldn't it just make more sense to buy a 30-pin to 25 or 50 pin external cable? I see these on eBay regularly for under $10 shipped, seems to me hard to justify the bother when an entirely satisfactory solution exists for so little cash.
However, you _can_ buy internal scsi cables with an external port that fits into, and includes a rear port cover. Of course those covers are PC style, but I reckon a dedicated hacker could easily hack their own nubus port cover with the appropriately shaped hole. Another source for an external DB-25 port includes old external SCSI cases. They usually have a lil' PCB interface between the IDC-50 internal cabling and the DB-25 external port. just my $.000002, Dan K On 10/26/02 David Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Hi, > >I have a Duo Dock II and I'd like to add a real SCSI port, DB-25. > >At >http://hardwarebook.net/cable/storage/scsiamigamac.html >it describes the pinouts from the DB-25 to 50 pin IDC female which >would slip into the internal SCSI connector.
