Hi I have used both Viking II disks with normal , 68 pin UW scsi , and Viking II with SCA-80 interface , using an adapter. The scsi interface is identical , except that in a SCA-80 adaptor both signals and power , as well as ID settings are connected.
In short , yes ,this should work fine using an adapter. Jaap. [This is more of a hardware question than Linux. If I'm totally off-topic, please point me to a more appropriate forum.] I "liberated" an Alphastation 600/266 from a client. The machine has a 1.8 GB harddrive, which is a bit too small. I also got a 4.3 GB hardrive in a "RAID-cartridge", i.e. enclosed for hot swap. Not knowing any better, I unscrewed the case and got out the drive, intending to install it in the HD bay w/ the internal SCSI cables. It turns out that the drive has a SCA-2 connector (Quantum Viking II, digital P/N RZ2CC-PA). Can I connect the internal SCSI-cabling and power connection to this connector via an adapter of some kind? Or should I try to find a "real" SCSI disk instead? tia, /g. -- Gustaf Erikson -+- +46 70 444 0726 -+- [http://stureby.net/] "Send lawyers, guns, and money..."
