Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Well i've tried the search over and over and I've not turned anything up yet...so here goes:

So i get this zip drive, and of course it's got a 25pin connector and my mpc has a 50. What i was wondering is, as far as i can tell, there seems to be 2 types of 50 pinners.... a CS and a HD...does anyone know which to use? I've looked at the shapes of both and it could go either way...thanks in advance

you want a "scsi to scsi II" calbe...the HD you refer to stands for High Density...

the zip end has what's called a "SCSI male DB25" connector, and the other end (the MPC end) needs to have a "SCSI II Male HD50" ...(sometimes also just called "D50")

My zip250 came with the proper cable, I assume you bought yours used and it didn't include the proper one>?
