Thanks, Bryan, I'll take you up on the cables tomorrow night.  I got a loaner of a short 68pin cable from Kevin Korb and have verified the drive and card at least seem to work.

More in the next message.

Wide, HD 68-pin connectors -- both internal and external -- are always
female on _all_ the cards I've seen -- SE, LVD, HVD, etc...  Both the
internal and external HD 68-pin cables are always male.

While this is opposite of the internal 50-pin IDC (male card, female
cable), it is the same as the newer, HD 50-pin cables which the HD 68-
bit is based on.

I guess that's why you got the cable cheap.  ;->

I have internal 68-pin SCSI SE cables if you need them.  I just have to
dig them up, but I have them.  Heck, I even think I have a few LVD (UTP)
ones too.
