SCSI Zip (DB25 to 68pin 'SCSI-3')

Post by Richard W. Ko » Wed, 02 Oct 1996 04:00:00



I'm considering buying an external Zip drive to run with my
NCR 53c825 F/W Single-ended board, then I discovered that
the zip has some DB25 connection on it. This is for my
2.0.20 Linux box. Does such a cable exist? DB25 Male
to 68 pin male? I've asked around and looked at the
Computer Shopper to no avail.

Hope this isn't a FAQ question here as I've noticed a lot
Zip discussion in these groups.

Thanx,
Rich

There are, in fact, 68-pin to DB25 cables.  I own one.  It works fine with
my zip drive.  I got it from Cables Direct, I believe.  I will double
check the receipt when I get home and repost if that is an error.

Me too. I am using it for my EZ drive - a rival of Zip drive.

Both specialize in custom cables.

: Hi ! Please tell me where I can get the 68pins to 25pins cable.
The company I got mine from was in fact called Cables Direct.  I have lost
the phone number, however, and the invoice from the package doesn't have
it.  Sorry.

1. Do the 'zip accelerator' cards work as scsi adaptors?

I have a parallel zip drive currently.  I have found the zip drive to be
a very useful tool.  I am currently looking at purchasing a scsi zip
drive for the sake of performance, and also because i would be able to use
it under freebsd.

(I understand that there is a parallel port driver, but when i read the
documentation, it appeared to imply that it was mutually exclusive with
printer support, so im just going to buy another drive.)

The "ZIP accelerator" cards that they sell along side the zip drives claim
that they act as a host adaptor for the scsi zip drive.

My question is:
Is this a card, that if i purchased it and installed it, would act as a
normal scsi host adaptor?  Or does it use a proprietary interface,
meaning i would need to use a regular scsi adaptor to use the zip drive?
If i can get away with just buying the zip accelerator, i would, because
i dont have immediate plans to buy other scsi devices, and i only have about
$250 (US) total to work with.

Thank you for your consideration to assist.
Jeremy
