You have an IDE drive, you need to get a IDE/EIDE control and install it on your computer. Then buy a IDE/EIDE cable to connect your IDE/EIDE HD to your newly installed IDE/EIDE controller. =d
: THE 50 PIN INDICATES IT IS A SCSI HARD DRIVE
: IN THERE NOW,,THE 40 PIN INDICATES IT IS AN IDE,,
: IT COULD BE [MADE] TO WORK BUT NOT EASLY NOR
: PRACTICAL.FOR IT TO WORK RITE GET A SECOND 50 PIN SCSI TO GO WHIT WHAT YOU ARE USING NOW
