	A while back, Cables to Go (1 800 506 9601) had such a beast. 
Unfortunately, that has been discontinued. I had basically got around that
problem by a hack: I had a 50 pin centronics female connector wi about 45
cm of ribbon capped off with a 50 pin Berg female connector.  This
connected into the end of the internal SCSI cable.  After much hogging of
plastic and cutting/drilling of metal chassis, I had the connector fit as
tight as a glove in its new location where the other connector existed. No
weird overpriced cables. That 68 pine male in the back goes to the
*secondary* SCSI host whereas my hack uses the primary. Eventually I will
re-pin the 68 male to another 50 pin centronics connector and do some
more plastic surgery (pun not intended) and bouth SCSI hosts will be
accessible from the outside.
