I believe it's Differential, not single ended. I haven't kept up with PC
technology (hooking this to a PC). Is this older Differential the same as LVD? I believe
it had a centronics 50 pin connector labeled "differential". I'm wondering
what SCSI card I can use with this... Adaptec 2940?
Nope. I forget how Adaptec's HVD line is numbered, but LVD, wide, or
UW will NOT work with HVD devices, and will likely cause Magic Smoke to
escape.
And, of course, HVD adapters for PC have gotten Very Damned Expensive.
