I'm trying to install an internal drive into my MPC60II. I am assuming that it must be connected to the port with 26 pins on the scsi board. Where can I find this cable?

Are you talkin about the ribbon cable that runs from the SCSI port on the back of th 60II to the board ? If so, what you need to do is follow the zip drive installation instructions on mpc3000.com. Basically, you'll need an additional 25pin-external-to-50pin internal SCSI adapter and a 50pin internal ribbon cable. You can get the adapter from here:

They should carry the 50pin ribbon cable as well, but if not, you can pick them up from just about any computer store. Let us know how it turns out. BTW, what type of internal drive are you installing ? Card reader, zip drive, SCSI hard drive ?

peace,
