Re: SCSI drive

[Mike Connor <connormb@cig.mot.com>]

There are three (that I know of) SCSI connectors you're likely to find on 
the back of a SCSI card-- this is an external drive I take it?  At any 
rate, you can find cables with different connectors on each end for any 
combination and everything will work fine.  A SCSI-2 drive will work fine 
on a SCSI-1 card and vice versa.  As I understand it, a SCSI-3 (with the 
right adapters) will work on SCSI-1 & 2 and again, vice versa.  So, find 
a cable that fits the connectors you're dealing and it will work.  SCSI 
devices are pretty nice like that.
