I have an IBM 9.1GB UltraWide 2 SCSI 3LP Hard Drive together with INI-9100U/9100UW Host Adaptor, installed in my exisiting pc. I want to, if possible, re- install these in a proposed new system. Can any of you high tech people advise me if this is viable given the new system components to be installed also, what adaptos/cables would be required.

The following, already purchased, system components are to be installed in new pc.

Asus P5Q Pro Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 w/firewire
Intel Core 2 Duo, E7400, Wolfdale Core, S775, 2.8GHz, 1066MHz, 3MB Cache
4GB Corsair (2x2GB) TwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800)
500GB Seagate ST3500418AS Barracuda 7200.12, SATA 3Gb/s, 7200rpm, 16MB Cache
Sapphire HD 4670 512MB GDDR4 HDMI DVI VGA PCI-E

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - and welcome!

That host adapter has a PCI interface, right? You should be able to plug it in to your new motherboard without issue, and bring the existing drive and cables over with it.

I'd be inclined to just back everything up from that SCSI drive to a flash drive (can get a 16GB for under $30 if you don't have one that big) or directly to the new Seagate drive.

Yep, Agreed with Jason. Your going to have too many hassles just for 9GB. Backup what you want off it and let it go with the old system.
