I do not understand your sentence correctly. Line 2 is an empty gap.
Parhaps some accidently lost information? Attempting to answer as
best as I can understand, I own a Vulcan.

Yes, the Vulcan hard drive and it's controller card is IDE. It's
_very_ likely that you could place a different (SCSI) drive into
the Vulcan's power/drive case, the screws/holes should match up.

I've had both the Vulcan (IDE) and SCSI running at the same time.

Are your quoted "HD, Syquest and a CD-driver" all SCSI devices?

If your HD is Vulcan/IDE and the others are SCSI, you'll just need to
do some footwork to get all of them to cooperate together. If they're
all SCSI, where does the "Vulcan" part come in? Are you only using
it's case and power-supply? If so, I'd recomend that the SCSI drive
you (might be, I'm guessing) put in there be the last device on the
SCSI chain (and therefore terminated). Picture that; a SCSI cable
coming out of your computer, going through the CD and Syquest, and
then back into the computer to the drive inside the Vulcan case.
Strange, but I don't know how SCSI would react if it's "Branched"
instead of "Chained". Anyhow, I'm only assuming that when you say
"CD-driver" that you mean "CD_ROM Drive".
