Very basic SCSI questions
Posted: Sun Mar 02, 2014 6:28 pm
Hello,
I am attempting to connect to some of my cameras with SCSI for some reason. I am also a partial dunderhead so I need this sort of thing explained very simply
I'm trying to get from a Windows 95 or XP laptop via PCMCIA or parallel ports with adapters to Kodak DCS 200/4xx.
Connection begins with either Centronics type low density 50 pin or High Density 50 pin SCSI-2 connectors.
Camera has DB25 socket as I'm sure you know.
1. How do I tell if I have a printer cable or a SCSI cable? If there is any difference.
2. Is it possible to use a gender changer in between 2 cables, eg. this chain
Laptop > Centronics 50 > Gender change > Centronics 50 > DB25 > Kodak DCS
Many thanks in advance, JR
