	Indeed - you can attach it using your choice of duct tape, packing tape
or sellotape(tm).

	As regards actually getting data to and from the disk from your SCSI
controller, that's a little more complex. Effectively, they are
completely different and incompatible interfaces - though I'm sure
someone has invented and markets a converter, should it be an absolute
requirement ;-)
