That's okay by me so long as they'll work. But as HD prices have dropped
overtime, sometimes you can find a faster drive cheaper than the older ones.
So any 50 pin SCSI should work so long as I understand it's speed will be
limited by that of the bus? Sorry to be dense, I just want to be certain I
understand, the main issue is just that I get a 50 pin drive?
