[UFO Chicago] Shipper error in my favor

So I ordered a IDE hard drive a bit ago and it went bad shortly after
I installed it (luckily I had backups). So I RMAed it and received the
replacement drive last Tuesday. Today, I was just about to bring my
server down and install it when I realized that it wasn't going to fit
into my IDE chain.
As it turns out, they gave me a IBM Ultrastar 73 GB 80 pin Ultra 160
SCSI drive (Model number IC35L073YCD210-0).
Pricewatch is currently down, likely because of the hilarious
Microsoft SQL bug, but a google search suggested that these things go
for about $500. Since I don't have a SCSI adapter and don't have any
plans to use SCSI in the near future, I'm prepared to part with this
drive for $200. I, of course, have no idea if it works or not, but it
probably does, and I'll take it back if it doesn't.
So if anyone wants it, let me know.

perpetuate that life.
