Adaptec is the must have back in the old days. And they are really expensive.

OP,

Needs to specify which type of scsi drive you have. There are a few of them. And you will need a scsi cable if you don't have one.as well as a scsi terminator.

You may consider the price to be a little on the steep, or high side but then again, how important is the data that you are trying to recover?

chances are there's a janky way to do it cheaply as well, because it really is only a "one time thing" from what i understand.

Maybe there is, but doing it the right way is better and the janky way will probably cost just as much. Back then most of them SCSI drives were the Seagate Cheetah 15K. Modern SCSI is SAS.

Does it actually need to be from Amazon? There are plenty on ebay from the look of it, and cheaper than 40USD

It's for Ultra-320/160 SCSI. Drive is a Seagate Cheetah 10K.7

I have a terminator and cable. Just need an interface card for PC.

Why is that even the best answer?!

It's not even the correct card.

Then please help me find a PCI Card that interfaces Ultra 160/320 SCSI
