50 to 68-pin is usually okay. Ultra160 stuff usually has a better chance of working with 50 and 68-pin stuff.

also, don't turn termination power on for a U320 drive on an older bus-- it's not the required 5v but 3.3v. you'll blow the voltage reg and the drive if not caught in time.

PSU removal issues can be solved with a bit of grease in the right spots... but not too much. at least that's how I figured it out for my Q700.

makes me want to get the old beast going again; it's in storage right now and missing a few things.

also, are you using a utility that sees non-apple disks? Adaptec SCSIProbe may be one to look into to see if it can see it, also LaCIE Silverlining which is among the best options if it needs a driver.

Thanks for the information on TPWR didn't know that. I've tried scsiprobe, patched Apple SC HD Setup, heck I've even booted a m68k Linux kernel and not there. Man this SCSI stuff is PITA, makes me apreicate IDE/SATA a whole lot more. So I am out of Ideas on the 80pin drive luckly it wasn't to much of a loss, I thought it humorous to have a Q700 with 146GB storage.
