The description of the Addonics card suggested by MacTV is very confusing. Is it SCSI II, SCSI III or does it require an LVD interface? LVD, to the best of my knowledge, requires a PCI Mac.
LVD devices, unlike their older "differential" siblings, can automatically fall back to single-ended SCSI if they sense they're connected to an SE bus. They usually have "force SE" jumpers on them as well. About the only extra hardware you'd need is a 68-50 adapter and a terminator (or an old hard drive with a terminator, for that matter) for the cable, since LVD devices don't have terminator packs on them.
