So not wanting to open the Micro en/sc I need a female HDI-30 SCSI connector!!! - but wonder, if I can find some tubes from a suitable female connector, if I could fabricate a connector by pushing these tubes a couple of mm onto the ends of the male connector pins one at a time, and adding a blob of resin onto the side of each tube until I have a matrix of tubes trapped in a single block of resin.

Indeed, you could perform that act. Or you could salvage an HDI-30 female socket from a dead PowerBook and solder it onto a conventional SCSI cable (D-25 or D-50 "Centronics").

Don't do it yet. You are approaching the problem from the right way, but work slowly before you attack the kit that you care about. Experiment on some old radios or boom boxes. Learn how to solder a really tight, secure connection.
