I can help with information on the drive itself.  I doubt very much that
the hard card used SCSI.  Give me the Conner model number of the drive and
I can tell you everything you want to know about it.  A general rule is
that SCSI model numbers from Conner end in the letter "S" , ie (CFN170S) 
.  IDE drives either end in the letter "A" or have no letter after the
number.  Shoot me the info on the drive and I can help you with that part
anyway.  The problem is not the drive but the interface card that plugs
into your bus.  Your software needs to be able to speak to the interface
card. Hope this helps.
