Hmm... I can't even load that page in my browser ATM. I'll try again later. Maybe that site is down.

SCSI is meant to be a standard applicable to all platforms, so I would be surprised if it wasn't the same pinout.

However, I have been able to find absolutely no information at all about the DC-37 SCSI pinouts or the early version of the Supra Drive SCSI controller which you have.

For example, I have a DB-25 to centronics cable laying around. I could cut off the DB-25 and solder a DC-37 connector in it's place. Then purchase a crimp style centronics connector and add it to a SCSI ribbon cable.
Well, if you don't mind cannibalising the DB-25 to Centronics cable, that would be the neatest solution - especially if the Centronics connector were chassis-mounted to the hard drive enclosure.
