What I do is buy an internal SCSI-2 to external MD-50 SCSI-2 adapter. It'll either mount in an unused punch-out in the back of your chasis or it can mount in a plate at an unused slot on your motherboard. You run the _end_ of your internal 50-pin ribbon cable over to this adapter. This gives you a dense 50-pin externel SCSI connection. We get our specialty SCSI cables and adapters from C.S. Electronics. You want the SCSI-2 Ribbon Adaptor, see http://www.scsi-cables.com/line/adapt.htm for more info. Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org
