Hi Adam, since I do not have the specs for the drive handy and therefore have to employ my brain :), is that drive you want to use an "LVD" (Low Voltage Differential) aka "Ultra2 SCSI" drive?
I know, that SCA drives (80pin) can used in a Quad or a PM 6100 with the proper adapter that you have (have also done so). That should not be the problem. But, I made the following experience with an IBM 9.1 DDRS LVD/SD drive I bought on eBay: That drive had a jumper switch that allowed to switch between LVD and SE (Single Ended Ultra SCSI) mode. I switched to SE mode (I tried all settings), but the drive still refused to show up in tools like SCSI Probe and it whenever I tried to scan the bus, the computer freezed. I tried over and over and also Sync Negotiation, all SCSI IDs, term on/off, no success. I checked the drive on a friends Mac (he buys new Macs twice a year :), and the drive turned out to be 100% functional. We came to the end, that this drive was too modern for the SCSI hardware in my PM6100. I ended up in buying an IBM DDRS 9.1 GB "SE" drive, works fine. The Cheetah is a high performance 10k rpm drive which produces A LOT OF heat and screams for very good cooling which cannot be provided in the low profile housing of the C610 style Macs without adding extra fans.
