You can get SCSI cables with different connectors on them, or you can go through adaptors. They can be found on eBay and Amazon and several retailers, Google will find you some of these.
One of the online shops I use is Cable Depot, never had a problem with them and delivery has been quite prompt. Their SCSI selection can be found here: https://www.cabledepot.co.uk/advance...x=0&search.y=0.
I always use external active terminators, it makes things much easier, especially when using external enclosures. You can find them at the mentioned places also.
The alternative is to open your external drive and fit the terminator jumper on the CD-ROM. That is a pain though when it has to be changed between systems, and the reason I use external terminators.
