Title: BlizzardPPC SCSI
Post by: AF-Domains.net on June 13, 2004, 07:14:05 PM

I have the BlizzardPPC with SCSI but the cable is broken.

Where can I get a new BlizzardPPC SCSI Cable?
Can one be built?

Thanks

Had the same problem. My connector to the BPPC was broken, and I tried for half a year to find one but without any luck. Try www.vesalia.de . Lat time I checked they had some for around 15 EUR I think.

One can be built I think... you need to get hold of a 50pin highdensity connector and cable. Then take an old dead SCSI unit and desolder the 50pin male connector (make sure it's one with plastic around to fixate the legs when it's off).

Then it's just a matter of clamping on the highdensity connector onto the cable and then soldering whire 1 from the cable to leg 1 on the bigger 50pin male connector and 2 to 2 and so on trough all 50. Keep this cable as short as possible so you can have longer SCSI cables attached to this.
