In this case, the drives have labels that say SCSI.  But the normal way to
tell is to look at the cable connector.  SCSI is about 1/2" wider than IDE.
UW SCSI has a connector with very fine pins and is only about 2/3 the size
of IDE.  SCSI3 uses still another connector which I haven't run across yet.
If you have a scsi card you can have up to 6 devices hanging off of it, and
14 off a UW SCSI card.
