The Vulcan card is not a SCSI card, but a rather specilized IDE
controller, which works with the Vulcan IDE drive.  Its ROM is
pretty picky about what IDE drives it works with.  Because of
their specialization, they are not generally worth much except
to someone who has a Vulcan drive and no card.

The header on the Transwarp is not a SCSI connector.

You will need a SCSI card to attach SCSI devices.
