Yes. Just be careful about using 10k or 15k RPM drives as they take a bit of power - I'm not sure how much power can be had from a 20SC enclosure. > > Does anyone also know of 68k mac drive limitations? If you want to use it with MacOS, then yes, there are limitations. If you want to use it with some form of unix, then you only need to worry about the first partition being small enough (generally; while NetBSD supports any size, I don't know about all of the idiosyncracies of Linux, for instance). SCSI supports up to 2 TB disks. If you connect a 2 TB disk, MacOS might have some issues, but assuming you got a small partition at the beginning of the disk from which to boot MacOS, you can then boot NetBSD and use the rest of the disk with no problems.
