    You will require  SCSI controller card and the correct cable type,
    I think your drive could be an Ultra 320 80-PIN SCA2 and that type were made by Fujitsu and Hitachi, the cables are slightly different from IDE.
    Scsi Drivers were almost allways installed at the time of installing the operating system, and problems can arise if you try to install insitu.

    ( But do not take my word for it, Read what is on the Hard Drive and then Please check with the manufacturers)
    Please give as much information regarding the Specification and components of your computer and a note about what you were doing when the problem arose and any other relevant thing that you think may help.
