My cable is an adaptec cable http://www.scsi4me.com/images/Adaptec-5device.jpg

http://www.scsi4me.com/display.php?nav_title=SCSI%20Connectors&page=scsi-connectors.htm
Look like I have High Density 68pin connector.

It's written at the back of the card : SCSI DIFF
At the back of the tape drive : SCSI LVD/SE

By the way, I have 2 SCSI plug at the back of the drive, which one I should use ?
