   Seagate's naming convention used to be and maybe still is

   STxxxxxx A  => ATA (IDE) interface
   STxxxxxx E  => ESDI interface
   STxxxxxx N  => SCSI interface
   STxxxxxx ND => Differential SCSI interface

   You can buy a little 'in-line' card that does bidirectional
   differential to single ended conversion.  I don't know if the
   transmission delays impact performance - I suspect not. I don't know
   any UK suppliers off the top of my head, but they will exist.
