You can plug wide (68 pin) SCSI-drives to your Sun's SCSI bus if the
drive supports sindle-ended operation. I've got 2 Seagate 18.2GB
Barracudas hooked up to a SPARCstation5 and they work perfectly. All
you need is an adapter. The only drawback is that the adapter won't
fit inside the lunchbox chassis, so you need an external box for IPC,
IPX, Classic and LX. :(

I think IBM still manufactures 50pin UltraSCSI drives. You'll
probably need to order straight from them, though.
