Greetings; I spent an hour early this morning looking around in the cracks and crannies of both web sites, looking for an adapter that would plug into the 50 pin sockets on the 7i90, that would, without interfering with the adjacent socket, give me a row of micro screw terminals so I wouldn't have to putz with cutting these pissy-assed, cheap jumper cables in two and splicing them onto the ends of the cables coming into the box,
Failed miserably. I can well imagine that such a connector is not a COTS item. But trying to get 50 wire ribbon cables to some place remote from a card like the 7i90HD isn't a luxury I have room for, so I am forced to use these very pooly built jumpers solder spliced & heat shrink covered to make the transition from the larger gauge coupling wires in the cables going out to the machine. It does suggest a new layout at some point for those cards that use the 50 pin scsi-ii type sockets, putting one connector per card edge so the plugging in of a purely passive terminal block adaptor then leaves access for all 3, as opposed to haveing them covered by their neighbors 50-way ribbons. Better, nearly as compact options? Suggestions aimed for limited overhead situations? I'm all eyes.
