Ultra 160 controller to Ultra 320 DAT72 cable

Hi, I have a PowerEdge 1600sc server with a SCSI DDS4 drive. The drive has
what I believe is a Ultra 160 connector which looks very much like an IDE
connector. I want to replace the drive with a SCSI DAT72 which has a Ultra
320 connector. The Ultra 320 connector is physically different than the
160, but it is suppose to be backwards compatible. Clearly I will need a
new data cable to go between the SCSI controller and the drive but I don't
know what that cable is called. Any suggestions on what cable to purchase
or where to buy it?
Many thanks

Looks like i need a female to female 68 pin to 50 pin adapter to plug on teh
back of the dat72 SCSI ultra 320 (68 pin) drive so that I can plug my ultra
160 (50 pin) SCSI cable into it. But not sure if I can just get the cheap
$5 ones or if the more expensive "9LNT" type is required to support this
tape drive. Any insight appreciated. Thank you!

Are you sure it's not a DDS3, they usually have 50 pin connector, and
that's not U160. Both U160 & U320 use 68 pin connector/cable. U320 is
backwards compatible if you buy converter as mentioned elsewhere in thread.

You sure it wasn't the meds that made you see it?

If you say so.

We don't care much for trolls that make up the weirdest of posts.
