Cheap SCSI

[Alan Hoang]

Macus

Just get any cheap card that can handle sca connection.  If you can't 
find one then just get one that handles the 68 pins and get an adaptor 
that can convert from sca to 68 pins.  Make sure the card is compatible 
with your OS though.  As for how compatible U320, it is compatible with 
others.  The U320 is just that it is capable, but you can connect to 
like u160 or even like UW and UW2.

Just grab one off e-bay, do a search for "scsi controller pci" or 
something.  You should be able to get it pretty cheap, but I hope you do 
have the cable with terminal and also the adaptor for sca -> 68pin 
connection.

Good luck..
