I don't think it's an IDE-SCSI adapter. An IDE-SCSI 'bridge' as they are called runs about $65, so nobody is going to be selling an IDE drive with one of these cheaply. I think it's a 68 to 50 pin adapter. I have never personally seen a 50 pin drive bigger than 9gb.

It could be. Those thingy's are expensive, but there are lots of them that were bundled, so if the seller doesn't know that that thingy at the back of his IDE drive is worth more than the drive itself, there's no sense informing him. Chances are, though, it's just a cheap 50pin to 68pin adaptor.
