yes, it is possible. Centronics 50, Mini50, 25DIN are interchangeable and
I have seen cable conversions. Although it's rare to find them, I have
seen 50pin ribbon to 25pin DIN. Most are SCSI card external adapters. The
only thing I've seen in stores for a ribbon adapter is a 50pin ribbon -
mini 50pin connector, of which you can attach a 25pinDIN to mini50
connector.
Where to find them? Dunno, there are several mail order companies that
are dedicated to SCSI sales. Try www.corpsys.com to see if they have what
you need.
