Yes. SCSI uses a female connector, DSSI a male one _AND_ the pinout is
different. I checked this. DSSI uses a mapping:
flat ribbon cabele	HD50 plug
	1		1
	2		2
	3		3
	4		4

SCSI uses:
flat ribbon cabele	HD50 plug
	1		1
	2		26
	3		2
	4		27
	5		3
	6		28

I think yes, if you build your own special SCSI terminator for the DSSI
plug. But it will be much easier to use a separate cable for SCSI.
