Hmmm. Drive hooked up, powers up, spins. Not detected in Lido 7.53 on the bus scan. I suspect this is a SCSI termination issue - the cheapo 80 to 50 pin adapter I have doesn't have termination power, and perhaps the drive doesn't seem to either. I've tied various pin settings on the adapter, both 8 and 16-bit. No dice. Will do some more reading/research and report back progress.

In the meantime, here's the adapter I bought - thoughts?

Shoulda bought this one with active termination: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCA-80F-IDC-50M-Adapter-with-27-Lines-Active-Termination-SCSI-U320-U160-LVD-SE-/111006953930?pt=US_Drive_Cables_dapters&hash=item19d887b1ca

... might buy this: http://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/external-storage/other/auction-557579301.htm

... or will look to see if the drive does have jumpered termination somewhere.

options, options - so close to a refurbed SE/30! :)
