You'll need to get a centrex cable for the esi end, and a db-25 on the other. From there, you'll need an adapter that will turn a db-25 in a 68pin ultrawide where it connects into the 2940. At least that's how I'd do it. :-) Get good thick cables, too. The skinny ones break real easily.

ergh..can I say something?

first..its centronics  a big 50 pin connector (back of the ESI)

second...go on ebay...and if DZ is right you need the narrow little 68 scsi2 you can get a cable that is the centronics on one end and 68 pin on the other..no need for an adapter

No kidding Dave? I didn't know that there was a cable with centronics (happy? :-) and a 68pin on the other? Wish I knew that when I bought the stuff 2 years ago. Yeah, I have the same setup as above.

If you're in the US.

This place is cheap for this kind of stuff. $13 for that cable.
