Most of the older Macs use 50-pin SCSI, some might use 68-pin SCSI. Though it's hard nowadays to find decent-sized 50-pin SCSI hard drives, you can purchase an adapter that will convert some from either 68-pins or 80-pins to 50-pins. I have a 68-pin to 50-pin SCSI adapter so that I can use a 68-pin SCSI hard drive on my Quadra 650 which has a SCSI bus that uses 50-pins. The following link from the site that VT linked to also has them, but I'm sure that you can find them elsewhere as well:
