[MLB-WIRELESS] DIGITAL Server 1000

[Alan]

Mark,
The funny d connector is called a Honda connector otherwise know as a 
wide SCSI or Ultra Wide SCSI connector (Ultra being the Speed).
There are adapters to convert to the 50 pin internal narrow SCSI, The 
change from Wide SCSI to Narrow in not an issue the SCSI stuff is all 
backward compatible, it will run at the fastest common speed and use the 
maximum pins available. You might try the cable guys at the swap meet or 
there is a shop in Latrobe st opposite Melb Central that also stocks 
lots of connectors.
