The Sparc 5 has two SCA connectors for disk drives, and this drive doesn't
seem to fit.  It won't go in the bottom connector because the drive hits
against the top connector (it's taller than the 2GB drive that's in there
now).  It can plug into the top connector but then you can't close the
cover. :P

Is there an adapter of some kind that will allow me to plug it in the bottom
one somehow?

Alternatively, is there an external case for SCA drives that I can buy?
Where?

You can get SCA drives that fit, dirt cheap on eBay.
(I just sold two OEM Sun/Seagate drives on eBay:
 I got $13 for a 4G, and $5 for a 2G.)

Or go to places places like www.supersellers.biz;
I've recently bought 4 9G Sun/Seagate drives from
them for $55/ea that fit my U1 and U30.
