>>SCSI from mobo out the back of the box ...

Well, you got a lot of responses. As it happens, I
have a 50-pin internal cable with an external connection
at the far end in my junk box. This is the old, large
50-pin centronix type connector.

But do you have any scsi connection on the outside of
the box already? Say 25-pin? What is the Jaz drive?
Is it scsi-II? If so, an adapter or adapter cable
will run it if you have an external connection of
any pin configuration.

If not, be warned (or recall) that it's easy to spend
a lot more on cables than you would on a new SCSI card
with external connections. I have been extremely
happy with the Flashpoint, for instance, which has
an external 50-pin (micro) connector. Ultra-scsi with
bios for 60-odd bucks (last I checked). Of course, it
uses an IRQ.
