SCSI cable for connecting a Cyberstorm PPC to a Zulu SCSI RP2040
Just popping in

See User information
I am looking for a - preferably - short SCSI-cable to connect a Cyberstrom PPC to a Zulu SCSU RP2040.

Can not seem to find one no matter how much i search and I have already tried Amibay.

The Zulu SCSI has a built ind terminator so the cable should most likely be:

CSPPC (68-pin Ultra Wide) -> cable -> 50 pin IDC (Zulu SCSI with built in termination)

The Cyberstrom SCSI is located under a IDE HD with not much space so the first connector can not be too big.

Thank you in advance!

Just do a quick search on aliexpress and you'll find plenty of them, problem is it will not work if in the chain you have only the ZuluSCSI.

You have a 68-pin Ultra Wide cable, in the middle you put a converter to a 50-pin terminated device but the remaining 18 pins are not so potential problems will arise.

The correct setup should be a 68pin cable with at least 3 connectors, first connector on Cyberstorm, second connector on converter and third connector on 68pin terminator. Then in the middle connector you can put whatever you want terminated or not (but better if you disable the terminator then).

Ok. If I understand you correct. I need something like this with a 68 pin to 50 converter at the ZuluiSCSI:

Cable:

Adaptor:

Or?

JAVA (the kind you drink) is a mans best friend!

I believe you also need an active Terminator in the other end so you need 4 connectors.

I might be wrong but thats how i run my csppc and theres probably a good reason behind why i did it this way.

The csppc manual can probably give you the correct answer.
It's been too many years since i built my a4000.

Thank you! The Zulu SCSI has built ind terminator, so it should not be necessary with a terminator after that. At least in theory.

I think your system originally was built with old school spinning HD's that did not have built in terminators.

Will investigate further.

Yes your 50p device have inbuilt termination but i have my doubts about if it's good enough for 68p scsi.

Is it even an active Terminaton on the zuluscsi or is it just passive?

I was thinking exactly something like you posted, if my mind don't plays tricks on me (I'm getting "seasoned" ) I had a similar setup back in my cyberstorm days.
If I remember correctly I had 2 UW scsi disks and a cd burner in the same chain with a similar adapter in the middle and UW terminator at the end. All devices had terminators disabled.
