Yeah, I should have said that there=E2=80=99s nothing modern and in = active production for parallel SCSI. I=E2=80=99d recommend against the = Adaptec product, the driver hasn=E2=80=99t been maintained in years. = The LSI one might work, but I have no recent experience with it. = You=E2=80=99ll need to get an LVD to HVD converter. I found this one: http://iec.net/product/ultra320-to-hvd-scsi-converter/ It=E2=80=99s pretty pricey since it=E2=80=99s so niche. HVD was a = source of many rack fires back in the day, I seriously recommend being = cautious with this is.
