bringing my computer into the 21st century

[Seth Gordon]

I have a P-II 350 MHz computer sitting in my office, and I want to spiff
it up, within the limits of my budget, before everything that's
compatible with its motherboard becomes "legacy hardware".

In particular, I want to put in a SCSI controller and a few drives, so I
can set up a RAID system.  However, the prospect of going to
pricewatch.com and just ordering a few refurbished drives is
intimidating me, because:

(a) There appears to be an alphabet soup of competing SCSI versions, and
I'm not sure in advance what drives are compatible with what
controllers.

(b) My motherboard only has a 100 MHz bus, and I don't want to waste
money on drives that are pumping out data faster than the bus can
handle.

What should I be looking for?

Also, what other CPUs will fit into the same slot as the Pentium II
(with the same proviso regarding bus speed)?
