ST-318275FC Fibre Channel FC-AL, Dual Port (Barracuda 18 LP)


Fibre-Channel = the connector. I've never seen one myself, but I can tell you that it definately won't work with your oktagon.
I'm sorry to say this, but I think you just bought yourself a paperweight...

Fibre Channel:
This refers to products with fibre channel physical and protocol layers using the SCSI command set. The Fibre Channel interface is completely different from parallel SCSI in that it is a serial interface, meaning command and data information is transmitted on one signal stream organized into packets. The fibre may be either a copper coaxial cable or a fiber optic cable. The signal on the first implementation of fibre channel uses a 1 GHz rate, thereby achieving 100 Mbytes/sec over the cable. Fibre channel also implements increased software control of configuration and pushes the total device count on the bus to 126 IDs, as opposed to only 8 or 16 on a parallel bus. For more information, see our Technology Paper on Fibre Channel. Seagate designates a fiber channel SCSI interface with an "fc" in the model number.

I've used an IBM server that was Fibre Channel based, never seen it used on anything else though!

You can't just adapt it.  FC is a totally different protocol than SCSI.  
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

That WILL NOT work, besides the fact that Fibre Channel is a completely different protocol, the plugs aren't even the same. Best bet would be to relist it on eBay "AS IS".
