Looking for SCSI cable for connecting a Cyberstorm PPC to a Zulu SCSI RP2040

[JohnFante]

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

Have tried Amibay and searched a bit but basically I am not sure what cable I should get. I am not using the SCSI port at the moment.

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

Terminator -> CSPPC (68-pin Ultra Wide) -> cable with one or more connectors -> 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.

Maybe something like this if it works on Cyberstorm:

With a converter at the ZuliSCSI end:

Thank you in advance!

I’m using a standard 68 pin with terminator connector on before the CSPPC and also one after the SCSI2SD. To connect a 50 pin to a 68 pin I am using 68 pin female to 50 Pin female adapter.
 Basically one of these

I would consider LVD/SE termination on the cable so to keep your SCSI bus speeds. I don’t know what type of SCSI termination is used on the Zulu. Can only gather it’s a standard SCSI-II Active.

Thank you.

So basically the cable I linked to should be fine:

I would like one that is way shorter but not much to do about that.

And with this in stead as the converter from 68 to 50:

Thanks for the link but customs makes it a no go to order from the UK.

Are you sure I need termination after the Zulu SCSI? Termination should be built into the Zulu SCSI.

And now we are at it. Does the the Cyberstorm have SCSI termination power? I think it does but not sure.

Yes to link 1.
If you are just planning on just 1 SCSI device then yes just use the inbuilt Termination of the Zulu.

Then yes this is the adapter you use for the Zulu scsi.
