I think you're talking about the external connector, _NOT_ the internal
one which is the same ribbon cable everyone else uses.

You don't have to get it from IBM, you know.

And, while you may be able to get an ISA SCSI adapter for that price, I
really doubt it'd be nearly as sophisticated or fast as the PS/2 SCSI
adapter.
