I really like the switchable type of HDI-30 plug for the powerbook, and use
it all the time. I have one which plugs into the DB25 end of a SCSI cable,
and another which plugs into Connectix 50 (like the back of an external HD
or CD-ROM) end. The DB25 I can use when I have an external device between
the PB or dock, and the Connectix plug allows for using the DB25 end of a
SCSI cable directly into the desktop. I hope this makes sense.
