I have hooked many Jasmine (3rd party Mac disk vendor) drives up to Sun
3/50 and 3/60s. The only rub was in the connector on the drive, it is the
Centronics style 50 pin connector. Just make a cable with Centronics style
on one end and D50 on the other end (100% straight through pinout) and
everything is cool.

Standard disclaimer applies, smoking hardware complaints to /dev/null.
I'm only saying it's worked many ( >5 and <10 ) for me.
