Yes this is one of those oval connectors. It is designated as sdb which (I always thought) means the second SCSI drive disk. I'd be glad to take a drive to where ever you are for a 35Gig drive.
Does it have a separate power connector? There are actually two kinds of "oval" connectors, 68-pin and 80-pin. The 68-pin ones are SCSI only, no power. Those drives use a separate 4-pin molex power connector. The 80-pin ones are known as SCA, Single Connector Attachment, and the extra pins provide power among other things (SCSI ID configuration pins). They are designed for hot-swap disk array shelves. -- - Chuck (291 Days until IPv4 depletion: http://ipv4depletion.com/)
