SCSI Narrow, they are to go in a pair of SS2s.

This is good information. I'm just looking to add a little more permanent
storage to the multia. As for the internal SCSI drive, one large enough to
hold a boot partition would be nice (32MB and up).

The Multia originally had a 512MB internal SCSI laptop-style drive. I'd be
happy with 1GB, but suspect I may have to stick to 512MB or lower.
