Will any standard SCSI cable work?

Any standard SCSI-2 cable will work, AFAIK. The cable I use is 50cm, and works just fine.

I am not sure, but it looks like it from Andy's pictures.

I am actually posting because I found some cheap scsi cables on MonoPrice and want to get one so I can use my gd-rom:

Does the pinout on this one look about right?

That one at monoprice is centronics, which I dont think is what you need, I think you want dsub:

But I do not currently have a gdrom cable to compare, so maybe someone can confirm 100%

Somehow I stumbled upon this topic again when searching for something and realized I never replied to it.

The cable neofrank linked to is the correct one. I bought one a year ago and can confirm it loaded a game no problem.
