Clarence: Yes and no. The device is the right one, and a handy little gizmo it is too, because it lets you convert any of the millions of garden-variety internal 50-pin cables that are laying around into a 50-pin in/out cable. So yes, that is the goodie to get. As for the arrangement of connectors, it has to be like this: 1: One end to the Cablemakers' bracket, which must then be connected by external cable to a terminated device or a terminated chain of devices. You can't leave it just unconnected. 2: Middle connectors to your SCSI CD-ROM (plus other internal devices). These must NOT be terminated. 3: The other end to the motherboard 50-pin connector. Since the Motherboard is terminated, it must be on one end of the chain. It can't be anywhere in the middle. You may have to make sure the motherboard termination is enabled in the BIOS, but you probably don't, because it's probably automatic. Regards, --QwikSand
