An even better trick than this is to use 80-pin SCA
SCSI drives. Computergeeks.com sold (maybe still
sells) a PCB that adapts this to either 68 pin _or_ 50
pin SCSI for maybe 10 bucks. You can pick up SCA
80-pin drives very, very cheap or free, even new ones,
because most people figure the interface to be
"proprietary" and the drives are very hard to sell.
