ok so the interface card will work, it's the drive my problem? can you give some example of brands and models of drive known to work? As i wrote i'm really not expert in scsi drives, in the manual you posted the back of the drive is identical except for the jumpers that mine don't have. Is this the difference between nc and np (apart 8 bit mode)? if i find np should i prefer 68 or 80 pin? the card accepts the 2 standard

from the images in the manual seems to be a 68 pin, i see the power input on the right
