Charlieman, if his is like mine, it's HDI-30 on one end and DB-25 on the other. That's it – designed for converting the funky PB-SCSI port to a standard Apple port. I also have the one you are thinking of which uses an HDI-30 (on both ends) cable and has two DB-25 ports (which is also bus-powered), with which I have successfully used as a coupler for two DB-25 SCSI connectors without the HDI-30 port.

I have a Dayna adapter that is similar to the first that Mac128 describes: male HDI-30 at one end and a 25 pin D female at the other. To use that adaper with a Mac Plus, I'd connect data via a male to male 25 pin D connector pass through. Don't worry too much about termination when you are getting it running. For power, I'd adapt a wall wart psu. Alternatively, take +5V off the floppy port.
