SCSI question: Internal cable

[Homerboy]

I ahve a few SCSI HDs laying around from some servre pulls... the interface on the HDDs are 68pin offset. I have a pile of Adaptec 2940W SCSI cards too... However I'm having a hard time finding a cable that will connect as the 2940W has an internal 50pin offset male and another 68 pin? sqaure female... I think: http://www.pcliquidations.com/item.asp?id=1461

Is there such a cable? If so where can I find one?

This cable should work if you have all 68pin connections.

nah thats not it
look at the SCSI card in question. The male connector is less pins. 50?
the femail connector onthe card is square faced 68... like a big IDE

What Hardlin posted is correct

Thats the only 68 pin internal SCSI cable
It gets plug into the female 68 pin port on the card not the 50 IDE looking one

The male one is 50 pin but not offset Looks like larger IDE plug
the female one is 68 pins and is offset

Best picture I could find

Top one is 68 pin bottom one is 80 pin

was trying to find a pic of a card that showed the connectors but couldn't

 

[Homerboy]

so I need the cable and an adaptor?

 

[Homerboy]

the smaller port on the card is male though and, whil enot sure of the pin count its a smaller size plug all together... does that make sense?

 

[snoturtle]

The smaller port on the pic is 80 pin
You only need that if you have an 80 pin drive

I used that pic because it was the best I could find that showed the 68 pin connector

Found some better pics
in french but the pics are ok

The 68 pin is female
The 50 pin is male
