They are now pretty available, if the computer dealer sticks any sort of
SCSI stuff. I know of a couple places in Kansas City that stock them as
a rule. When I first got the SCSI-3 drive, these adapters were over $50
each; being frugal, I wouldn't part with that for a plastic connector.
A year or so later they came down to $15, still expensive but more
realistic in my eyes and to my wallet.

You might try Dalbani electronics, or maybe Jameco; they stock quite a
selection of odd stuff like that. If you are stuck, I can pick up one
for you next time I go to KC. E-bay might have one listed, but you'd
probably pay more than they are worth.
