What do SCA look like? They look like reduced-size D-connectors (like a
modern SCSI port, but half the length). There's also nothing resembling normal
3.5" mounting holes, so I suspect that it needs a custom "cartridge" for the
drive to connect to the ports and fit available mounting. Probably a $200 part.

Nope. Sorry. What will you offer me for it? I accept all currencies as
well as other hardware. :)

Linux or NetBSD doesn't interest me much, because I'd love to see the
legendary good looks of an SGI desktop, plus it would be another OS to put on the
resume. Those five minutes running HP-UX have really helped my employability. :)
