Quick and easy SCSI question
I am looking to buy a Exabyte vxa2 tape drive for a server.I get confused with all of the Ultra/narrow/scsi2/ultra wide/wide ultra2/etc. The tape drive says a 68 pin Wide Ultra2 interface.

The motherboard has onboard SCSI. According to the manual the three onboard interfaces are "50 pin fast scsiII narrow", "68 pin Wide", and "68 pin Ultra2".

It is an Asus P2B-ds

So which one on the mobo should I connect the device(wide Ultra2) to?

The wide or the ultra2?
