Does anyone know of a supplier of these sub-miniature 50 pin SCSI
connectors for the 3/80 and the SPARCstation 1?. I have tried several
cable suppliers without any luck.

In the meantime, I built a 50 pin ribbon cable with 2 standard 50 pin
connectors. One end of the cable goes into the SCSI disk and the other one
goes into one of the 2 connectors on the system board for the 2 built-in
drives (the machine is diskless, so nothing is attached to these
connectors). It's a kludge but it works.
