I'm by no means an expert, but i've user a bunch of different SCSI drives. With SCSI there are *alot* of name games, and no hard standard. Sometimes you'll see "Ultra" in front, sometimes you won't. Roughly speaking, SCSI-1 is 40, SCSI-2 is 80, and SCSI-3 is 160. As for pin outs, you have 68pin, and 80pin. 80pin (also referred to as SCA) is a hotswappable drive, almost always found in rackmountable servers, where high availability is of concern. 68pin is what you have. Old SCSI stuff had 50pin interfaces as well.
