HD68 Cables #34

Closed andrewvh4 closed 1 year ago

I'm having a hard time finding suppliers for the HD68 cables needed. Most suppliers list them as obsolete or out of stock.

Does anyone know of a good supplier for these cables?

Also, if they are obsolete, is there any interest in changing the connector on the Zotino and related boards?

I usually source them from eBay or Ali or Amazon You can also use crimped plugs with original Zotino connectors Yet another idea is to use SCSI to VHDCI adapter and VHDCI cables.

Zotino/Fastino can be fitted with the original HD68 or 3M MDR connectors . They are pin-compatible but not plug-compatible. MDR68 cables are easier to source. I.e. here you can also make them using IDC plugs and ribbon cables
