Yes.

sd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <SEAGATE, ST12400N, 8650> SCSI2 0/direct fixed
sd0: 2048MB, 2621 cyl, 19 head, 84 sec, 512 bytes/sec x 4194685 sectors

In a plain vanilla enclosure, bought at the same time as the drive.

I've previously run that same -3/60 with a drive that now (on another
machine) shows up as

sd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <SEAGATE, ST15230N, 0498> SCSI2 0/direct fixed
sd0: 4095 MB, 3992 cyl, 19 head, 110 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 8386733 sectors

A suitable cable (ie, with the "DB50" connector to mate with the SCSI
connector on the -3/60 on one end, and whatever - I forget which
connector, and the drive is at home and I'm not - on the other).

Nothing the least bit unusual, as far as I can see.  Except for finding
a cable with the appropriate connector on it, it was a total
no-brainer.
