Yes, if a drive is SCSI they would say so. Most drives you
see in mags include an I.B.M controller. If you can buy the Drive
without the Controller (saving about $50-$100) you should be able
to buy a SCSI adapter for it from OMTI or ADAPTEC for in the
range of $100-$175. Some of the newer controllers even include
RLL encoding which increases the capacity (and speed) of the
drive by 50%, so buying a 40 MEG with a SCSI/RLL controller
would give you a very cheap 60 MEG Drive.
