Buy the MacWren, which is specifically designed for the quirks
of the Macintosh SCSI interface.  Regular Wren SCSI drives have
some quirks when used on a Mac, the worst of which is that they
may not automatically mount if there is more than one SCSI in
the chain.

You will, of course, still need driver software, etc.
