 I am trying to connect a SCSI tape drive to several computers, 
an Amiga 3000UX, a MIPS RS2030 and an NCR 486. Each of the boxes has
a different plug for the SCSI port. The tape drive came with the NCR
and has a cable with rows of pins on it. The Amiga has a serial port
type connection and the MIPS has a centronics type plug. I was wondering
if there was an easy way to connect the tape drive to each of the machines.
Do I just need to rig a cable or is it more complicated? Any info would be
appreciated.
