Hmm.  For any system where I can either look at the back myself, or
get a decent quality picture of the back, I've never had a problem
telling a difference between an HD68 (Wide SCSI --> U1E) and an HD50
(Narrow SCSI --> U1 non-E).  Given the ease of finding U1E boxen with
Creator cards already present (and thus not requiring a separate
purchase) I also find that looking for a Creator card in the right
place helps verify that I'm not mis-reading the SCSI port. 

Of course, having said the above the next U1 I buy is guaranteed to
be a sheep in wolf's clothing...
