I've obtained two SCSI hard drives made by Maxtor that have 80 pin connectors and no power connector port. This isn't necessarily relevant to FreeBSD accept that i'm planning on using them in a FreeBSD installation. I'm only aware of 50 pin SCSI and 68 pin SCSI. I've tried to contact Maxtor to get advice on a PCI adapter and cables to use with these units but haven't gotten a reply. Can any one give me some info on how to set these drives up hardware wise? Or if they can be used, maybe I made a mistake getting them, but they are 18GB 15 k drives and were $75 apiece from Tiger Direct. two of them will give me 36 GB to use for a web server /usr and /var partitions. And i"ll use SATA drives for RAID back up. Thank you in advance. JK
