Is there anyway to convert a SCSI Hard drive to work through an IDE cable? I've got a 68pin Hitatchi Ultrastar.
 
Clarification: No there isn't, there's no reason any company would make such a thing as no one would pay for a SCSI drive and then perversely hook it up to an IDE controller, and they're completely different anyway so it'd be like trying to stick a compact flash card in a DDR slot on the premise that they're both memory.

So buy a SCSI controller.
 
You can connect a IDE device to a SCSI controller, but not vice-versa since IDE does not support the full command set that SCSI does natively. Buy yourself a Adaptec or LSI SCSI controller and cable if you want to use it.

exactly
External IDE RAID subsystems are always attached to a SCSI Host Bus Adapter
(Ive yet to see FC for instance, what would be the point? :p )
