I tried that imgur.com link and got a 404 - no image there. An Ultra320 SCSI drive should have either a 68-pin or 80-pin SCA connector on = the back, and will be "low voltage differential" (LVD) - an Ultra80 or = Ultra160 SCSI controller should be able to talk to that, i.e., the drive should = be able to negotiate the link speed with the controller and downgrade = appropriately. I might be able to cobble something together from the junk I = keep too much of to try and read the drive if it will spin up and talk, but = an outfit like Drive Savers will be much better equipped than I am. This might also be a job for the restoration folks at the Computer History = Museum in Mountain View, CA. Erik Fair
