Its a "SCSI SE" drive, I won two via Ebay at $19.99 each, totalling $52 
with shipping.  The aution description mentioned they were "SCSI SE" 
drives, and the one SCSI card I have says it is an Advansys ASC3050B 
8-bit / single-ended Ultra SCSI interface.  I think they're the same? 
<shrugs>  Guess I'll go find me a 50-pin cable or two and find out when 
the drives arrive.
