Indeed - you can attach it using your choice of duct tape, packing tape
or sellotape(tm).
As regards actually getting data to and from the disk from your SCSI

completely different and incompatible interfaces - though I'm sure
someone has invented and markets a converter, should it be an absolute
requirement ;-)
