I have never used their services myself, but they advertised handling SCSI = drives back in the day, and given their business, I doubt they throw away o= utmoded gear - can't hurt to call 'em and ask.

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 Ul= tra80 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 d= owngrade appropriately. I might be able to cobble something together from t= he 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.
