1. Get a pcmcia scsi controller card. Adaptec has been known to make
   them.

2. Put the drive in a scsi case, so you can power it, and get access
   to the drive. Yeah, I know there are other ways, but this is easy.

3. Connect everything up, and, if the scsi module is onboard, you
   should be able to mount the drive.
