If the ibm drive is not high-voltage differential, you can probably get
a wide to narrow adapter and put it at the end of the narrow SE bus.
Plugging a non-differential drive into a differential bus is not supposed
to damage anything but it does completely disable the bus drivers of
all devices on the bus ;-)
