Yeah, I should have said that there’s nothing modern and in active production for parallel SCSI. I’d recommend against the Adaptec product, the driver hasn’t been maintained in years. The LSI one might work, but I have no recent experience with it. You’ll need to get an LVD to HVD converter. I found this one: http://iec.net/product/ultra320-to-hvd-scsi-converter/ It’s pretty pricey since it’s so niche. HVD was a source of many rack fires back in the day, I seriously recommend being cautious with this is.
