Hmmm... My first thought was to go the other way, a HD50P<->DB25P with a 
DB25S<->DB25S gender bender. I "might" have the gender bender in my box of 
parts from a cable I had to hacked together a few years ago. If not, you can 
probably pick up the gender bender over at SWS... They have a Wall-O-Cables.
