Cancel that last bunch of questions. I see from this thread (viewtopic.php?p=163030) that SCA 80-pin non-terminated SCSI drives are potentially problematic. There is a SCA-SCSI 50-pin adaptor that is a few dollars more pricey, but which has termination built-in: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCA-80F-IDC-50M-Adapter-with-27-Lines-Active-Termination-SCSI-U320-U160-LVD-SE-/121042711117?pt=US_Drive_Cables_dapters&hash=item1c2eb5324d
The advantage of this approach seems to be a larger selection of newer and bigger capacity hard drives. Cpns: extra cost up front and ? interfere with drive fitment in the compact case of the SE/30.
I'll try to wend my way through the various options, and may just end out going for a replacement SCSI 50-pin apple drive (old though they are, the cost and ease are - for now - still a viable option).
Has anyone used the CF adapter in an SE or SE/30 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/CF-AztecMonster-CF-3-5-SCSI-Converter-Card-for-Mac-AKAI-sampler-New-Condition-/300844653893?pt=US_Vintage_Computers_Mainframes&hash=item460bbd1d45). This looks very nice, but pricey. The 68kmla wiki lists a color classic in the flash experience reports, but no older macs.
