David,

It will work so long as you find yourself an HVD SCSI card. 99% ofthe SCSI cards you'll have laying around for PCs are all LVD. Any cardthat supports both disk units and tape units is going to be LVD. Thosecards are out there but fairly rare and not cheap. If you plug it intoan LVD card you may damage the card.
