Awesome! Thank you very much. I didn't have any luck finding an IDC 50 to DB25 but I found an IDC 26 pin to DB25. I figure I can leave the dead hard drive in there and it will properly terminate the scsi line. So do I just plug it in, format a zip disk and it will work? Or do I have to do anything else to the board or the zip drive. Thanks.
