I need a cable to connect a Sun SPARCstation 1 to a Sony Magneto Optical 
Drive.  We would like to have the capability of sharing this drive between 
our Macs and SPARCstations, but I am having trouble finding the correct
cable for the SPARCstation end of things. 
 
The drive itself has the AMP CHAMP "centronics" style connector, while 
the SPARCstation has a miniature 50 pin connector (I don't know the 
official name of this).  The best our normal vendor can do is come up with
the connectors themselves, but they don't have the necessary pin out 
information to construct the cable.

Any suggestions as to alternate cable vendors, or sources for the pin
outs for both the SPARCstation and the Sony drive would be greatly
appreciated.
