No more details on site, no model number ... but for 60 buck might be worth it to right party.

Emailed for more info on SKU and have not recieved a response.

21:46 (EST) 12 June 2001 - Now dead. Link points to some 3.2 drive now.

80 pins can be anything, SCA is in all varieties. If I had to make a random guess, these are UW.

It says it's an 80 pin drive.
I have a question though, what's the difference between the 68 and 80 pin performancewise?
Thanks

NONE...80 pin interface allows differential SCSI interface to have longer cabling with stronger signal strength (for daisy chaining or RAID configurations)

SCA drives are best utilized in SCSI RAID configurations with hot-swappable backplanes. The device ID, power, and data bus are all in the 80-pin connector. Device ID is set at the backplane (via hardware or BIOS; SCA drives generally don't have ID jumpers). These drives aren't great for desktop PCs with SCSI cards in them, because you will also have to buy an adapter for the SCA drive that will allow you to connect it to a 50 or 68-pin SCSI cable. The adapter will also have device ID jumpers, power connection, and, if you buy a more expensive adapter, the ability to terminate the SCSI chain. An SCA adapter will probably cost over $20 for a good one.
