Micropolis 1991w disks and Adaptec 2940 ultra (off topic)

[Karl Pielorz]

It won't work...

To run a Wide drive you need a Wide controller... If you have a Wide
controller and Narrow drives you can rework things with adaptors / cabling
etc. - but Wide (68 Way) drives on Narrow controllers (50 Way) is a no-go I'm
afraid...
