If both are SCSI drives, there should be no problem. You may have to
check the website for the manufacturer of the 250mb drive to make sure
you can set the drive ID jumper. Though many drives have the same kind of
jumper pins and pin numbers, there are enough oddities so that it is pure
luck when the SCSI ID plug can be merely swapped when you change out the
drive in a case. Good luck!
