I don't know exactly what model drive you are refering to (part number
wise)... but Kirk Yates donated a bunch of 800mb drives from a system
that he retired a few months ago.

I was able to get the drives working using a standard SCSI adapter, but
they were VERY slow and quite loud.

I suspect the drives are desined to be used as part of an array, and
not individually.

Also, and I'm not 100% sure about this, I don't think there is a way to
set the SCSI ID on the drive.

Contact me privately if you want a link to the drive specs web page
I found on ibm.com
