I also ran into another drive, an Archive

right, that was in an NCR tower that left my posession some time ago -- that
one was SCSI, and also used a 50-pin connector.
My Tower had an Archive 2150S in it (that drive lives on the bench hooked up
to a Linux box, and occasionally gets pressed into service archiving tapes)
I've seen other Tower models that have non-SCSI drives in them though
(probably 60MB, and I can't recall whether they had a native drive controller
in the machines or used a SCSI-to-whatever converter board)
I've got various converter boards here, but I think they're all QIC-02 or
QIC-36 (and SCSI at the other side). I don't think I've ever seen a 5.25" QIC
drive that isn't QIC-02, QIC-36, or SCSI at the interface... (having said
that, I've not peered into the IBM RT's drive - it wouldn't surprise me if
they didn't use something weird :-)
