Hrmm.  Then I'm officially a dumbass.

Alright, I think I can shoehorn them in.  Now, the next problem is:

The disks I have are OEM'ed IBM 75G3577 disks.  I can't find any
information on jumper settings or any such stuff.  A Google search came
up with three links, one being a question on how to get these drives
running in a Sun box (no answers), and the rest have no valid
information in parts.  I can't find any information on IBM's site (what
are the odds), either.  Anyone know of these?

I do not!

Yeah, as I say, I might be able to shoehorn these in.  However, I'm
still struggling with jumpers and the like.

Got any 50-pin 2G disks you want to trade? :)  I have three of these
beasts.
