        Try APS (Allied Peripheral Systems) in Missouri--Indepence, I
think.  They have an 800 number that I'm sure you can get from 800
information.  If it exists, they probably have it.  They are the SCSI
Specialists.  ;-)

        My guess is that the "smaller" plug you're talking about is
actually a SCSI-2 plug--a pretty condense plug that is actually a 50-pin
plug.  The more "standard" SCSI plug is a huge 50-pin Centronics-type plug.
There is also a less-common 25-pin "Mini-SCSI" plug that you find on the
back of Macintosh machines (and some other places) which looks something
like what would go into the parallel port of your PC (actually, its
identical).
