50 pin can be one of several SCI protocols. I think up to SCSI 2 or 3. If your system uses SCSI 1 (slow, 5 MB per second max theoretical) then you have narrow SCSI. 50 pin by itself does not mean narrow SCSI.
I bought an 18 GB Seagate Barracuda Ultra160 (it needed an adaptor to fit my 50 ribbon) for about $200. I saw some IBM 18 GB for around $120. The $200 was very reasonable last October. So far it has been a good drive Sincerely yours, Grizzlygiant1 Sue Street wrote: >I'm looking to get a new external SCSI hard drive What sort of price is reasonable >for >these drives ETC. >btw, is this considered a "Narrow SCSI"? > >thanks! >Sue > ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
