   There is no such variant because the only 68-pin devices Sun ever
   shipped of that vintage*  were the full-height differential disks used
   in the Differential SCSI Disk  Subsystem (those huge 6-disk trays at
   the bottom of SC2000s & similar). If you want a SCSI enclosure with an
   HD68 cable internally, it'd have to be third-party just like the disk
   you'd be looking to use.
   Hope that helps,

   * AFAIK, the only other 68-pin devices ever used by Sun were a couple
   U320 SCSI disks for the recent  x86 Java workstations. Kinda odd that
   they wouldn't just make these SCA like the rest... they've since moved
   on to SATA/SAS so I doubt there will be any others.
