I don't know if you got my reply to this or not, because 68kmla had some data loss problems last night, but basically you want to try your local PC repair shop. They usually have a box of SCSI connectors in the back. That's where I got my 50 pin to 68 pin SCSI adapter.The Lightning Stalker Performa 631CD, 7.5.5

I don't exactly know, but 68 pin is supposed to support faster data transfer rates than 50 pin. That probably owes something to the braids in most 68 pin cables. |

Good guess, maybe it's the16 bits worth of signal width for a parallel type interface as opposed to 8 bits!  jt  ™.
