Speaking of differential SCSI, I recently acquired two Seagate Barracuda
4GB wide differential drives (ST15150WD).  Unfortunately, I don't have
access to a wide differential controller, and I really don't want to
shell out the cash for a differential controller.

Is there any way to run such a drive on a single-ended narrow SCSI-II 
bus?

Anyone know what these sell for new in case I need to get rid of them?
