VHDCI->Centronics

I just purchased an Adaptec 39160 SCSI host adapter. It has two VHDCI
external ports. I need to attach a couple of Micronet hot swap chassis. The
Micronet units use centronics connectors. I cannot find a cable with these
two types of connectors. Where can I purchase an appropriate cable or
adapter to make the connection?

So you want VHDCI to CI? That is wide to narrow and presents some pro-
blems with termination. Better use the internal narrow connector and get an
internal narrow-to-bulkhead cable and an external HD50 to Centronics cable.

Overkill for what you are doing. Get two 2940AU cards for about $5.00 each
and buy the appropriate cables for not much more than that. Going any other
way will be costly and might create other problems.
