This is "blast from the past" type question.
I need to make a backup of data stored on SCSI disk used in a large industrial machine.
That machine takes SCSI Ultra320 drives like Cheetah 10K.7 ST336807LC.
This drive has 80-pin SCA-2 connector and this is where my trouble starts. I don't have the controller and the cable yet and I need to know what to buy exactly and how to connect it all to the drive. I would appreciate a piece of advice there. Apart from an hour of googling, I'm not really familiar with SCSI, so I need to know this:
Most refurbished Ultra320 controllers that are available appear to have 68-pin external VHDCI connectors or what seems to my untrained eye like internal wide 68-pin connectors.
I could not find any pluggable controllers that would have 80-pin SCA-2 connectors available. So I need to know if I can somehow connect that specific disk via an interposer like this to such a controller? Will 68-pin cable connected via interposer have proper electrical and other properties so that I don't damage either device?
UPDATE
Sorry, I did not specify explicitly that the machine takes only SCA-2 drives.
