Tech Question......
How does an extra hard drive connect to a SCSI
it seems to have a smaller sized connection
...and to get the system to recognize the new drive

???
It's hard to tell what you mean...
If you want an external drive, then you need to get a 
DB-25 -> 50 pin SCSI cable. Internal drives are 
simple 50 pin IDC connectors crimped onto ribbon 
cable.

To get the system to recognise it, make sure it is 
allocated a unique SCSI ID - on a Mac you'll 
probably NOT want to set it at 0, 2 or 7. Then pray 
to the SCSI gods, and see if your hard drive 
formatting program recognises it.

Can you give use some more detailed info???
