Re: SCSI hard drives ? FOUND um ?

[Greg & Rachel Olson]

Most apples and mac compatibles were 50pin scsi internal which is a 
ribbon cable like an ATA.  ATA is 40pin, SCSI, SCSI-2 are 50pin. 
Newer 68pin (scsi-3 and ultra scsi, adaptec 29xx/39xx series) and 
80pin SCA are backward compatible with original scsi.  Only ones you 
have to watch out for are the LVD (Low Voltage Differential) drives 
which are not compatible with original scsi chains.  Of course, the 
68-50 pin adapters are required.  68pin drives have the normal power 
connection.  80pin SCA do not have a power connection as they are 
built for hot swap server applications, but again the 80-68 or 80-50 
pin adapters will have the separate power plug on it for you.

Thanks, You're the one that mentioned it. I find they have used ones 
9.1 GB for 4.95. However, the adaptor is to a Narrow 50 pin SCSI. 
Are the internal cables Narrow SCSI? I would guess they are as they 
are centainly narrower than the Centronics 50 pin SCSI connectors.
