This simple question started a big argument. Can I put an 18 gig
Barracuda Ultrawide (LW) in my Mac 8500? One guy says "no"... I have to
use the NL version which is the original 8 byte narrow disk (yech). I
say yes because the 50 pin drives will fit into the 80 pin Ultrawide
with the unused pins... well unused.

These 18 gig Barracuda's are going for $160 which is a good price, but
I'm not buying until I know for sure that they are compatible.
