Ummm, you _do_ know that you need a SCSI interface to talk to these
drives, don't you?  Computers all come with IDE interfaces built into them
these days, but only high end motherboards come with SCSI built in.
Otherwise you'll need a SCSI card as well as the cabling.

(BTW the cables are NOT cheap.  Probably worth more than a 400MB drive.
:-)
