New to Scsi drives etc!

[belfasteddie]

Hi, I hope you don't mind me joining this Tek site, I'm looking for some info re Scsi drives etc.
I have just pulled apart a Compaq 3000/450. I salvaged the Scsi drives, 15 in total, plus the dual cpus and the Ram.
I have just purchased a Microtech 440x brd which has two Ide and two 80 pin scsi connectors.
My questions are:
1: Do I just plug the drives in with a scsi ribbon, or do I need a scsi controller card?
2: There is 12 Compaq normal size scsi + three Fujitsu, which appear to be about twice the height of the Compaq. Why?
3: One of the drives has Win2000 on it , will I be able to use it as a Boot disk?
4: Pin selection: I wish to use the drives as single drives, how which pins do I jumper?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Eddie.

You hit it on the head, it's just for fun.

There is a lifetime supply of spares involved, high quality drives.

IMHO.

But totally worthless if you go the latest and greatest MS operating system.
