I've obtained two SCSI hard drives made by Maxtor that have 80 pin

This isn't necessarily relevant to FreeBSD accept that i'm planning
on using them in a FreeBSD installation.
I'm only aware of 50 pin SCSI and 68 pin SCSI. I've tried to contact
Maxtor to get advice on a PCI adapter
and cables to use with these units but haven't gotten a reply.
Can any one give me some info on how to set these drives up hardware wise?
Or if they can be used, maybe I made a mistake getting them, but
they are 18GB 15 k drives and were $75 apiece
from Tiger Direct. two of them will give me 36 GB to use for a web
server /usr and /var partitions. And i"ll use SATA
drives for RAID back up.
You need an adapter to use those drives. Something like this:

If you look around a bit you can probably find some cheaper. The
link above was from a quick search, but there are a lot of places
that sell the adapters.
