I have a Compaq 64-bit Dual Channel Ultra2 LVD SCSI controller (68pin) and I need to know if it would be possible to put a 80-pin LVD SCSI drive on it. I beleive that there are adaptors for this but I am not sure. Please help.

Thanks a bunch guys and gals!!

I checked with vendors I buy from at the computer fair and they indicate it is possible - it just requires an adapter, which you mentioned.

Some URLs that may help you out include

This is a article by Adaptec indicating that while it's possible with their adapters, doing such operates outside the spec, and some drive manufacturers don't support it as a result.

Good luck, hope this helps!
