Get yourself a cheap 25-way male D to 50-way male Centronics SCSI lead (pretty standard, lots available, second-hand plentiful, etc) and one of these  and you will have the best of all possible worlds :-)

The only thing that I can find (I can't buy with ebay -yet) is this
Just googled on the serial number.... found out that on another site it's regarded as a printer cable. (and it's a LOT cheaper there)
SOLVED.

The standard such cable is one of these which with the little adapter such as this would give a very useful combination.

I've just been to a nearby electronics shop, and the point is with these cables that they need to be IEEE 1284 compliant, which not all parallel cables are. I ordered one by them.
