You'll need the RT SCSI card (which has a differential SCSI bus), and
a differential<->single-ended black box (i don't know where to get these
but they are available).  Also, i beleive you have to write the first N
sectors of the disk with 0's, otherwise you won't be able to configure
the SCSI disk.
