Ken responded to my Wallstreet question:
My original inquiry:
Lastly, I bought a cable at
Microcenter this weekend out of the bargain bin. It is for Powerbooks
and has a HDI 30 fitting on one end and a SCSI DB M25 fitting on the
other end. My intent was to be able to hook my Wallstreet up to a
external CDRW or HD. Unfortunately this cable has the wrong end on it.
It has the end that plugs into the back of my Umax J-700, S-900, G3
MT, or PowerTower Pro. Is there a "gender/bender" fitting to convert
this so I can plug my SCSI CDRW into this cable? Thanks, as always, in
advance.

Ken's response: You said what kind of connector it had on the "Wallstreet end" but I don't understand your description of the other end. It sounds like it is a D25 type. What kind do you need on the other end? In other words, do you need a HD50, C50, or some other flavor?
I have adapters for some (taking the D25 to HD50 for example) and cables with the HDI30 on one end and the C50 on the other.

Ken, I don't know what the jargon for the connector is. I have a couple of SCSI CDRW's that plug into the back of my Legacy Mac's & Mac Clones (and G3 MT). The cable for these devices have two different connectors, one for the back of the computer (which has pins and screw downs - apparently this is called a "DB 25M" fitting - perhaps this is "M" is for "male" ???) and one for the back of the device (if you will, a "female" which has spring clips to hold the connector in place). I need to change the "gender" of my new cable to a "female," if these terms are applicable. Thanks, again.
