| 219.1 | Nope, call JAMECO... | COPS01::SEGREST | Mid-Atlantic TOEM Field Application Engineer | Thu May 01 1997 14:28 | 11 |
| There is no Digital part that I am aware of... If anyone else knows of
one I would like to hear about it as well.
JAMECO electronics sells a SCSI Ribbon to SCSI-II Back Panel Port
Adapter (part# 125241) for $14.95. Usint this you will need a short
SCSI ribbon cable to connect to the DMCC berg connector. A JAMECO
SCSI cable (part# 72848, 18" long) is also available for $3.95. Yopu
can place an order with JAMECO by phone at 1-800-831-4242 or via the
web at http://www.jameco.com

| 219.2 | Other alternative | MQOOA::LEDOUX | Vincent [email protected] | Wed May 07 1997 14:37 | 10 |
| Personnaly I use the SCSI harness from the older VAX stations
3100. They have 4 50 pin berg (RZ2x type) to an external 50 pin
centronics type. It has a metal faceplate, but it does require
some work to "fit" inside an encosure. ie: Cut a metal hole
to fit, or perhaps make it fit on a empty PC slot back cover.
17-02297-01 is the logistic part number, but there are other
as well. Bob's previous answer would probably be cleaner.

| 219.3 | An ECO on-the-way | SYOMV::NEWTON | | Fri May 09 1997 00:42 | 24 |
| There is an ECO to the ETM10-AD that should now be shipping. I believe
it consists of a SCSI cable that connects (on one end) to the internal
SCSI ribbon cable (supplied with the cable kit) and has a metal
faceplate (on the other end).
SCSI Cable Assembly: 17-04516-01
SCSI Terminator: 12-44025-01
I have (in the meantime) successfully done the same thing with the
cable from an old DECstation 3000(?). It's part # is 17-04124-01 Rev
A01. It's Amphenol part # is 36-24502-09-B01.
Harold Hager says the ECO is now available, but CSS has been unable to
get the parts yet from Ayr, so I've had them order quantity-3 of the
old cable.
I don't know of any cable that goes directly from the backplane to the
bulkhead. And of course if you do that, internal SCSI devices are not
an option.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Mark

Were these the cables used for the old SCSI-1 range of workstation disks at
5Mb/sec?

| 219.5 | I do not think so. | MQOOA::LEDOUX | Vincent [email protected] | Tue May 13 1997 13:30 | 13 |
| re: -.1
I do not think so, RZ26 were used on these systems.
I am using these with a wide drive (although my controler
is narrow) at 10 MB/sec without any problem. My SCSI
bus holds 5 drives, one CD and one external TK tape drive.
It starts with the standard 50 pins flat SCSI, then
to the cable mentionned. Also I have an active adapter
from wide to narrow for the wide drive. Never had a
soft error...

| 219.6 | will all ETM10-ADs ship with this? | NBOWJB::blundell | Bill Blundell | Fri Jun 06 1997 12:57 | 16 |

Does that mean that all ETM10-ADs will come with cabling to bring a 50
way SCSI connector to the backpanel ? Thus obviating the need for special
orders as previously described?
