I am looking for a cable to convert SUN's 50-pin SCSI interface, used on
shoeboxes, to a NeXT or Apple 25-pin (DB25) SCSI interface. Does anyone
know of such a cable? Where can I get it?
Please send replies, if any, to my E-mail address below.

This is the kind of posting that reminds me of someone who's too lazy to open
a phone book and calls 411 (Information Operator) instead. As people know, I
go out of my way to help someone who's at least done their homework and THEN
posts a plea for help to the net. Sigh.
In any event ...
Princeton is not exactly a backwater hick-town, surely there's a Mac store
on campus or nearby where you can get a "Mac system cable" for about $30; if
you're really cheap (or lazy), browse a Computer Shopper magazine for even
better discount prices mail-/telephone-order. You could also look at my
other posting to this newsgroup today for the actual wiring correspondences
of the 25 and 50 pin connectors (correspondence by signal name).
