You need SCSI-I 50 Pin Centronics female for the connector.
Also you need a way to terminate the bus. (External preferred).

Hi

Thanks for the replies so far

So far I have the HiSoft Squirrel software and the cable setup pictured, so now Just need the External SCSI Drive, correct.

On my A3000 I'm using Panasonic KXL external drive, nice slim design, you can find it cheap on EBAY. The SCSI connector is HD50, so you need a converter CN50-HD50 (Centronics to High Density). One minus, reads CDRs fine but CDRW not so good.
