No..... that is a Centronics 50 pin jack. You need the one that is called an HD50, MD50 or Half-Pitch.

Look at this page on scsiforsamplers.com

Both are wrong. The MPC2kxl/2k side is 50pin scsi2. I don't know what type of connection your external zip side is, you have to look at it and see what's going on.

oooooohh you've got a long, winding, frustrating road ahead my friend :? . Shouldve got it installed with the MPC - i would if i was you. Internal is way better.
pz and luck

If you are in the US, I'd get the your cable from http://www.scsiforsamplers.com. They know what the right cable is because they know what an MPC is. But I think the Belkin cable on your second link is right as long as your zip has the 25 pin connector.

Lampdog The MPC2kxl/2k side is 50pin scsi2


My 2000 has a DB-25 connector, the same as on the zip drive. I thought this was standard for the 2000 & 50 pin scsi2 was only on the xl?!

A yo FB, in SW's original post his subject read:

"I need to know what cable do I get to hook up an external zip drive to the MPC 2000xl? I know its 25pin male to 50pin male. Is this the right one?"

"MPC2000XL to SCSI cable" that's why I said 2kxl connector is 50pin scsi 2. 8)
