SCSI II compatible interface is the ONLY standard interface that will work
when you mix and match drives and sound cards.  However, avoid the
compatibity problem by buying a complete kit containing drive, sound board,
sample titles, speakers, etc.  I am happy with my Reveal 02 kit containing
Sony  33A drive requiring NO caddies.  My opinion is caddies are a waste of
time.  Installed this kit in 15 min. and have not had a breakdown in 2 mo.
use.
