Thanks Fred, this url actually led me to the Hitachi page that took over 'Peecee' support for this drive. Was able to dl the pdf though.

It must be an 80 pin SCA drive. Thing is Jeff, I was hoping to install this as the 'only' scsi drive in the chain. Right now I have two scsi drives and really only need one since IDE has become the primary boot. Being the only drive on the chain, in an emergency scsi boot, do you think this drive as sole in chain, would be dependable? It's not something I can return. I could sell it but would like to exhaust a few options before I take that step.. > You probably got stuck with an 80 pin SCA drive. Send it back if you can.
