If you can find scsi to IDE adapters cheap enough, I've used newer IDE drives on Flyers with no problems.  I think I was using 160GB 7200 RPM drives.

At the time the price per GB for IDE was much better, but probably not worth it anymore.  People practically give those old SCSI drives away now.

Awesome deal for those 73GB drives.

By the way, for the flyer how many inches is short? Will 24 inches be too long?

There is no too short.  With good quality shielded cables 3+ feet isn't uncommon and the max is seriously like 9 feet!

2 feet isn't bad even with flat ribbon cables.

Fast SCSI allows up to 3m cable, terminator-to-terminator.


Man, why did I jump to metric mid sentence?  Don't drink and post...

I'll edit the post.  I meant 3 meters or 9 feet.
