Sorry Bob,
That drive won't connect to your 50 pin SCSI connection because it is
an 'Ultra2' SCSI device.
You will need a PCI slot SCSI card and possibly an 80pin to 68pin adaptor
to use it in your
machine.
OTOH,
For the cost of that drive, a SCSI card will be a worthwhile addition
anyway ($50-$100 on eBay) if you want to take full advantage of the speed
of the drive as well as the $perMB figure. The PowerCurve will be capable
of 5-10 mps data transfer speed whereas a reasonable
SCSI card will boost that to 20-40 mps.
Cheers...Michael
