Hi Dave,
The 80 pin sca adapters are easy to come by on ebay and come in
several configurations depending on the host scsi bus. If you intend to
use it on the normal internal bus as the terminated device you can get an
80/50 adapter complete with sca term via jumpers - as most if not all of
the 80 pin drives have no termination option. The drive will only operate
at scsi 2 speeds if connected like this.
Or if you get an UW 68 pin controller card you can use a 80/68/50
adapter and a 68 pin terminated ribbon (though I think the card will
automatically terminate the chain) to put the drive on a third scsi chain
(second internal) to get the increase in performance up to whatever the
drive/card combo will do. I'm running an 80 pin 10k Cheetah as the only
device on a second internal chain on a terminated ribbon at 80MB per sec.
