<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Looking closely at your pictures your PCI card is certainly a HD50<br>
female connector (which would need the male cable end) but your device<br>
connector actually looks like a micro Centronics MC50 not an HD50. I<br>
say that because it has exposed gold fingers (not pins, but fingers) and<br>
a wide slot through the center. That's exactly how a Centronics (think<br>
parallel printers but smaller) is constructed.<br>
<br>
You either need to find an HD50 to MC50 cable (possible but not easy) or<br>
get an HD50 to MC50 adapter to adapt a normal HD50-HD50 cable or<br>
MC50-MC50 cable or even having to go the intermediate route of using a<br>
standard Centronics CN50 or D-shell 25 to MC50 cable somewhere in the<br>
middle.<br>
