The drives are not interchangeable. The GS vulcan uses a 16 bit card and 
the //e vulcan uses an 8 bit card. My advise is that you call Sun 
Remarketing for an Apple SCSI card. They just lowered the prices. Then 
either build or buy a SCSI drive and case. There are a lot of computer 
surplus house out there with parts and complete drives dirt cheap. I just 
bought a quantum ELS 80 meg with case for $15.00 and it works just fine. 
Don't be in a hurry, shop around.
