If you want to buy the cable I had made for my scanner (it's a long
custom model made by a Redmond cable company), let me know.

Yep, any true SCSI fan has a big box of cables and adapters for every
possible combination! Someday I'll toss 'em...

I was hoping to be able to find one at my favorite recycled-goods store
(Urban Ore in Berkeley), which has a *ton* of all kinds of cables, kind
of a snake pit all tossed together. I sorted through it and *almost*
found what I needed (50-pin high-density to 25-pin D), but no go. I was
surprised, as there are so many oddball cables in there.

I'm not sweating it. I just unplug the damn scanner when I'm not using
it. That's the $0 solution here.
