Brendan,

The connector Iomega sent you was to be used to connect either a Jaz to a Zip, or a Jaz to a Mac. You can use the connector in your system like this:

The Jaz Jet female-50HD connector should be connected to one end of a male-50HD-to-male-50HD SCSI cable. The other end should be connected to the female-50HD-to-male-25 adapter (you received from Iomega), which you plug into the Zip plus.

In other words, you could solve your problem using the adapter from Iomega with a 50HD SCSI cable (also available from Iomega.)

<<50-pin to 25-pin. Of course, when I got it I found out that it was 50-pin but it was some larger connection.>>

Didn't you already have one of these? Iomega shipped one with all of the SCSI Zips. That connector is supplied for attaching the Zip to a SCSI 1 card, which often used a low density 50 pin connector.

By the way, Iomega did not intend for the Jaz Jet to be used for the Zip without a Jaz connected to it first. That is why you are having a problem finding the adapter you want -- I don't even know if such an animal exists. That's why you're having a difficult time.
