Ijust purchased a Fujitsu M2694EQA 1.08GB Fast-Wide SCSI-2 hard drive 
from Fry's for $188.  For information about this drive I downloaded a 
Windows .hlp file from Fujitsu's WWW site.  I still have a few questions 
about the drive and if you can answer any of them I would appreciate it.

(1)  The specifications say that this drive is SCSI-3 SPI complient.  The
drive has one 50 pin connector and comes with a 68 pin adapter.  Is this a
SCSI Ultra drive?  Could I use the 50 pin connector with a SCSI Ultra
controller card and achieve the same 20MB/sec. transfer rate?  Or would I
have to use the 68 pin adapter and a Fast-Wide SCSI-2 controller? 

(2)  Fry's told me that this drive has a 1 year warranty but the
specifications state 5 years.  Which is the correct about of time?  If
this drive does indeed have a 1 year warranty could it be a refurbished
unit?  How would I be able to identify this properly? 

(3)  Is there an e-mail address for Fujtsu's technical support?  If not, 
what is their telephone number?

(4)  Any miscellaneous comments would be appreciated as well.

TIA,
McE
