Hi Ricardo,
If the connector on your SCSI drive is a very long thin one that looks like a flat printer cable connector, it is probably an SCA connector. Scan sell SCA to 50/68pin SCSI adapters for approx. £15 plus VAT
I am using two Seagate ST19171W drives with SCA connectors, and software RAID 0. They were originally in a Tektronix Profile PDR200 video server, and are designed to be hot-swappable.
Hope that helps
Chris

FYI, it is possible to get broadband connections with RJ-45
presentation,
rather than USB
Yup, they've asked for RJ45 instead.
Furthermore, check with the broadband provider if you can host
the specific
services you need on their network. I would guess they block
port 80 (for
web servers) at a minimum.
Turns out they're ditching that idea anyhoo, it's just going to be a Debian based *internal* fileserver, and a router for the broadband conn.
As a side note, I have in my grubby little hands, an 18GB SCSI Hard drive and an Adaptec AHA-2940U2W SCSI card, only the connector on the HD doesn't seem to fit any of the cables we have. It's about 2 1/4 inches wide (5.5cm), and very thin. It's wider than a normal High Density Male 68 pin. Does anyone recognise this kind of connection? We have no documentation (hell, we don't even know where it came from) and it's not the normal kind of connector I'm used to!
