Boy, does this sound familiar. The way I did mine was purchase a ext. HD enclosure. (HD Intl - AZ ($139)). The cable from the back of the St157 (50 header block) to back of the ext. enclosure (50 pin Centronics) was make with ribbon cable. I'm sure you local electronics store has the parts use a vise to clamp the cable ends. The cable from the ext enclosure to the Microbotics is a stock cable ($26), mine was called SCSI to Mac cable. I tried to build a cable from the pin out, but it would work, even after triple checking it out. Good Luck.
