50 pin SCSI to 50 pin centronics

By 50 pin SCSI do you mean the 50 pin header on the drive? The 50 pin
Centronics IS SCSI-1 as far as I know. If you wish to go from a 50 pin
SCSI-1 (centronics) to a 50 pin female header (as what goes to the drive)
then just get a 50 conductor ribbon, then a female IDC/IDS header and an
IDC/IDS centronics connector. Use a workbench vise carefully to crimp them
down and make sure pin 1 of the header is connected to pin 1 of the
Centronics.
