Yes.

I don't remember. Probably old Quantum drives.

1) Got a SCSI cable that converted the SCSI connector
on the back of the machine into a Centronics-style connector. Then I
used standard SCSI equipment.


2) Got a friend more skilled with small tools than me to disconnect
the pin on the 3/60 SCSI connector that connects the SCSI Termination
Power line to the 3/60 motherboard. It's supposed to have +5v on
it (I think), but the 3/60 grounds it out. Don't fry your drives!
