Hello,
Note : I am posting this message here as I did not find a forum dedicated to external DVD drive.
I have an internal DVD burner from 2003 that I need to use, for a very specific use-case of mine.
I think it should be noted that this DVD drive used to work in a SCSI chain (see : https://manualzz.com/doc/25703828/plasmon-solutions---open-systems-technologies-international)
I also bought a Adaptec AHA-2940U/SNI PCI SCSI card.
Here is the back of the DVD drive :
Following my research, here is what I think I should do.
Please correct me if I am wrong :
1) Plug the red part [1] to my PC power supply.
(my internal PC power supply cord looks like this
2) Buy a SCSI wire 50 pin with one big and one micro plug, and connect the green part [2] to my Adaptec card.
(SCSI-2 cable like this one
3) Now, I don't know what I should do with this purple part [3].
What is this female port I hold in my hand for ?
I read it is the "SCSI chain" part, but I don't want to chain it, it just want to use this particular unit on my Windows 10 PC.
What should I do with this Part [3] ?
Thanks a lot,
