I saw in Amibench this message:
For Sale : Internal Blizzard PPC SCSI cable - £19.99 + £1.60 P&P.
After searching all over the place for a cable to link from my Blizzard PPC board to my internal SCSI devices I came up with nothing. Compromises, bodged solutions, 8” long converters, etc, etc – every solution seemed to be expensive and nasty.
I have now solved this problem by having a custom cable made, this cable has 4 SCSI connectors on it (more on request) and a high-density 50-way connector that plugs directly into the cable you get with your Blizzard PPC board.
The high-density connectors are very expensive plus the crimping too for the job costs over a grand, hence getting the cables made is an expensive business. But look at it this way, for your money you get a proper 50-way cable, grounds between every signal line and a cable that will run your SCSI chain faster than any other solution. Signal grounding and proper termination are essential for SCSI; otherwise you loose speed on data re-tries.
Many thanks AmiBench for your great service.

NOTE: I don't know how well done are these cables and don't know anyone who has bought him a cable, so if you buy him a cable do it at your own risk :-/
