What SCSI Ribbon Cable to get????

khaag · Post by **khaag** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 3:36 pm

OK, what type of SCSI cable do I need to buy that is 50-pin and has 3 connectors on it like this:

#=====#=====#

Where, # is a connector and = is the cable. Is it SCSI-1, SCSI-2, or SCSI-3 or what?

Is this what you need sir?

That is a SCSI-1/SCSI-2. If you are just wanting to cut it to solder to the N64 cart slot then that cable should work just fine.

Wait, wha? If it's for an N64 cart slot, why not just use IDE?

IDE isn't wide enough.

Why do you need the three connectors?

Center plugs into the 'header' that goes into cart slot, and the other two to the two rows on contacts on the cart. Man I'm good...

I think I understand, but that doesn't seem possible, you'd have to rip half the EXP port off. I was thinking he would cut the ribbon and solder it to the board, and just plug in the N64 cart slot.

I have a plan. I will post it up when I finish it. I may just have a way to revolutionize cart slot relocation

Oh really? If its really good (easy), I might attempt an N64p again.

You'll need long pins on the connector if your planning an n64 relocation.

Solder = better!

Wait, I'm still confused. Why not just use 2 IDE cables?

The extra on the sides of the connectors on the cable screws it up, I think.
