Anyone know of a source for either cable or connectors for the 100 pin scsi connector used on some of the Galil cards?
I would prefer a solder style connector because of some special things I am doing.

Any update on a connector? I seem to remember someone here had found some??

That was a chase that didn't pan out. There was confusion between the SCSI-2 and MDB connectors. They use the same shell, but a different contact arrangement. Also the 100 pin connector is an IDC type only. It is best to buy the cables from Galil for this purpose.

Galil sells adapter CB-1500-100 for $50 which gets you to an more common connector, but you still need their special 100 pin cable.

from Galil forums:
The part number for the PC-board mount 100-pin connector is AMP 2-178238-9

This connector is part of the Champ 050 series II manufactured by TE Connectivity (Tyco Electronics, formerly AMP). Digikey stocks what appears to be a mating connector, P/N 5175677-9-ND for about $16 in quantities of one. From what I can tell this is an IDC (insulation displacement connector) that should crimp onto a ribbon cable having the .050" or 1.27mm pitch. I don't know if the ribbon cable would cause problems with cross-talk, but it might be worth a try given the cost of cables from Galil.
What appears to be a mating ribbon cable is P/N MB100G-5-ND for $18.54 for 5 foot length or $34.44 for 10 foot length. So a 5 foot cable with 100 pin connectors on each end could be made for about $50.
