What type of SCSI port is on the back of my Nextstation?
It’s a high-density 50-pin connector. Cable vendors variously refer to this type as a DB50HD, HD50, MicroD, High Density, SCSI-2 or Fast SCSII connector (!). It is used on various Sun workstations, Adaptec SCSI cards and a range of peripherals, so most cable vendors should be able to provide a HD50-to-Centronics or HD50-to-DB50 SCSI cables that will interface with external devices. The connector has 50 thin pins and uses spring clip locks – as opposed to screw posts or the typical Centronics clip – to hold it in place.
