External SCSI Tape Drive to SCSI Card - What Lead??? 1

[gavm99]

Hi all,

Hopefully an easy one for someone this.

I have a HP StorageWorks DAT24 DDS3 External Tape Drive and I want to attach it to my Adaptec AHA-2940 SCSI card.

The problem is I am confused as to what lead I need!

I know the external connector on the Adaptec card is 68 Pin if that helps. The back of the tape drive looks like a Printer port connection.

If someone could maybe post a link to the lead I need that would be great!!

The manual says you need an adapter:

Could you tell me specifically what converter I need?

Ideally a link to an example would be great!!!

Thanks!!

It is described on page 26 of the above manual.

Type the description of the adapter into Google for examples.
