To the best of my knowledge, except for the DN2500 and the new series 400 nodes
all nodes use ESDI disks.  You can certainly _get_ a 697MB SCSI disk (Maxtor 
8760S, I believe).  You can probably use it as a mounted volume on your node, 
after connecting it to the Western Digital controller (or other SCSI 
controllers?).  I don't think that you can boot off it, though.
