I'll also suggest that since you are using two venerable classic Macs that each possess a serial port, that you just skip the risk of frying your SCSI ports and use localtalk (printer cable) filesharing.
I've had two people bring me old powerbooks that they killed the SCSI this way, adapter wiggled around while hooked up or something.
You can do just about anything you want over localtalk, including Norton disk scans/repairs (if the 190 HD boots); it just takes a little while. :)
And it's cheap (free if you already have a printer cable).
Bless you for responding, B, but I am using the printer port file sharing route and it's slow as hell! I seem to really need the required cable for linking a PB 190 with the SCSI port of my 6320. I think it's the Apple M0207 peripheral interface cable.
