Especially check out the "drive compatibility listing" which lets you select
your mac (and scsi card I believe) and view other's experiences...

Ultra SCSI still has its place, but with the performance and cheapness of
the ATA drives available now... In a lot of cases its almost cheaper to put
in an ATA/66 card and go that route.

As to the ULTRA 160 drives working...  Yes, I believe the spec is backwards
compatible and you can use the drives with it (may require a pin adapter,
like the drive you mentioned below) but its performance won't be optimal.
