Hotswap adapter?

I have two hotswappable 9.1GB Ultra3 SCSI LVD drives that I would like to add to my server. However, the cable that plugs into the onboard SCSI controller only has DB50/HP connectors. Is there some kind of host adapter that I need? Perhaps some kind of gender changer that will allow the two to connect?
 
You need a SCSI controller that supports "wide" 16 bit mode. Does your controller have a 68 pin connector on it in addition to the 50 pin connector? If your drives have the SCA 80 pin connector they you can get an adapter to hook it to a 68 pin cable. Datamate makes them.
 
Looking more closely, the controller has the 68-pin connector (not 50-pin), and the drives have the SCA 80-pin connector.

Is this what I am looking for?

Do you know of a more "reputable" place to buy these? Or perphaps you know of a vendor with a better price?
