I called the guy in Gahana and he didn't act like he has much left. He has no 50 pin SCSI drives. Looks like a 50-68 pin adapter for me.
When adapting a 68 pin wide drive to a 50 pin narrow bus, be aware that a lot of drives will not fall back gracefully unless the unused lines (high byte) of the wide bus are terminated.
So for this purpose, and to avoid surprises when swapping drives (the one you find today might work without it, but the next one of a different model might not), make sure you get an adapter with "high byte termination."
Or use a 68-pin cable with wide termination at each end and adapt only the connection to the narrow host adapter, but that creates more of an electrical "stub," so YMMV.
