I need to make up cables with 50 pin ends, two rows of 25 on .1 spacing.
I've never done this. Are the parts below all I need? Any instruction on
putting the IDC end on?

That cable URL mentions bulk termination but it isn't clear how far
apart the flat sections are, where you can attach an IDC connector.
Consider plain flat cable like at following URL, if you don't need round.

Do you actually have to make the cables yourself? Standard SCSI 1
and SCSI 2 cables with 50-pin IDC connectors aren't expensive. See
