 ====== How to construct a SASI or SCSI X68000 cable ======
- You will need the following materials:
+ First of all you will need either two IDC20 or IDC26 female connectors and one IDC50 female connector. They all have 2.54mm pitch and can be easily purchased on eBay.

 |  IDC20 (SASI)  |  IDC26 (SCSI)  |  IDC50 (Common)  |
+ Next you will need a 50 way AWG28 colorful flat ribbon cable with 2.54mm pitch and a IDC crimping tool.

+This is how an original SASI cable looks like. It is approximately 34cm (13.4 in) long.

+Now use the following pinouts to align the cable with the connectors. Click on the images to enlarge.

+Once alligned, it should look similar to this. (a completely unrelated IDC connector is used in the following example)

+Now use the crimping tool to finish the job.
