I dont know about the supra, but I guess it will be the same as my old Gasteiner thingy.

Anyway, what I suggest you do, is get yourself a PC Case, and use that as a SCSI box, and put your HD and CDROM into that.

What you have on the Hard Disk, is a connection that the ACSI to SCSI connects to, and a connection for the Hard Disk.

Obviously you need to somehow get one of those cables that has 2 or more connections on it.

One thing that is possible to do ( I did it ) is to buy a bog-standard SCSI Cable from any PC shop, and take the large centronics connection off your current cable, and attach it to the new one!

This can be risky of course, but if you take your time, its not too difficult.

I used a conbination of a screwdriver, and a lighter to press the cable onto the connection pins, and the cable still works to this day

You can of course buy these cables either ready made ( Where? ) or from some company that can make it for you, but you will pay lots more than they are worth, but at least you know you should have a good cable.
