Thanks for the response. I've ordered another DB-25 to CN-50 cable since I'll need it in the long run, so in the worst case I can transfer from internal HD to zip disk, then zip disk to external HD.
Regarding the soldering, I'm assuming that soldering the wires would be only if I wanted to be able to set the SCSI ID any time I want, but if I wanted to set the SCSI ID permanently to something (other than 0 or 7), couldn't I just solder together two of the contacts together on the PCB? It seems like the contacts normally connect to this piece which has a 2 x 3 array of pins on it, where normally you would have a jumper connecting two of them to set the ID unless I'm mistaken. I've provided a diagram to illustrate what I'm talking about and make things clearer hopefully:

Would the direct soldering approach work? Or alternatively soldering a tiny length of wire between the desired contacts?
