Yes. The beauty of those switchable adapters is that they can be 29-pin or 30-pin according to the need of the moment. Even more importantly, for the PB1nn series of 'Books, a pass-through terminator can also be attached to the CN-50F side of the adapter, and then a conventional CN-50M/CN-50M cable can join the adapters.

But be in no doubt that for the PB1nn 'Books, SCSI termination must be included in the setup, for there is no termination in the PBs themselves. This is not the least reason why it is preferable to have a desktop as the 'host' Mac: to provide termination power through the cable to the passive pass-through terminator at the PB end. A second Powerbook that can provide termination power will do as well, but that won't be another PB1nn.
