Re: [PCI] SCSI Hard drive compatibility

[Ron]

What you have is a 50 pin SCSI bus built into your 8500's logic board.  
You will need an adapter for the 80 pin SCSI hard drive you linked to  
and it should work so It adapts the 80 pin down to 50 pin so you can  
plug your cable into it.

I just bought 2 of those drives from Surplus Computers for $2.99 each  
and they look new. The 80 pin drives are usually found in Servers which  
is why they are cheap, but will work with a $10.00 adapter.

Work in my Powermac 8500 as a primary master (I.e. SCSI Internal bus  
0)?
I can't seem to find the PM8500's SCSI HD specs anywhere.
