What machine or card is it hooked up to?
Is the interface 50 pin or 68 pin?
What size drive?

A SCSI drive is a SCSI drive, there are just different interfaces.

OWC has a pretty good selection of SCSI hard drives.

Okay.... got it down to two drives.... either a 36 gb scsi drive or a 120 gb ide drive.... the IDE one is slower but has more memory. Which one?

You can´t connect an IDE drive to a SCSI bus (unless you´re willing to pay the extra amount of money for a SCSI-IDE adaptor). The 36 GB drive is the only option.

Which one you choose depends largely on what you are using the computer for. Personally I'd take the 120gb, if it is 7200rpm.

The old, broken drive has its keys out of order. Would Diskwarrior fix this?
