• The CRW2200SX drive requires a D-sub half-pitch 50-pin pin-type

purchase a SCSI cable with connectors suitable for both the drive and the
SCSI card. The following are the most common types of SCSI connector:

D-sub half-pitch 50-pin pin-type (as found on the CRW2200SX
drive)

Half-pitch 50-pin Centronics

).
