hooking up 3rd party drives?

[Vincent Fox]

Any words of wisdom on hooking up SCSI drives on a Personal Iris?

Those 1/2 height 5-1/4" drives are just too darned expensive. I'm looking
at 760 meg in a shoebox for about $2K. Where in the PI should I try to
hook in the external SCSI cable. The only point-of-attack I see without
taking the PI apart is the extra 50 pin connecter in the back of the
empty 1/2 height slot above the tape drive. I could get some 50pin ribbon
cable and route it out of the PI here, unless there is a better point to
connect. 

More importantly, will IRIX be able to format and recognize any 3rd party
drives? I would think so, but I'm looking to be sure before I jump in.
