   Got some pics, and there is a very simmple PCB with no apparent   
   components. I then suggested the PCB might tie all the grounds   
   together... like with a MCS-600 SCSI adapter with... a DB25 port...   
      
   I think this 4869-CD is a standard XM3101BME SCSI CDROM, with a simmple   
   PCB to convert it to a DB25, cable connects to a SCSI adapter...
