Yes, I think an older SCSI drive should work fine as well.
I've heard that newer SCSI drives don't necessarily work with Atari ST 
systems, but I really don't know the specifics around this. Better ask 
in the "comp.sys.atari.st" newsgroup as HDdriver's software author Uwe 
Seimet often answers harddisk related questions, and he's an expert in 
my opinion.

Another issue with the Mega STe: the termination issue is *very 
important*. I can't remember if you have to leave it *un*terminated, or 
if you have to terminate it. I believe it was the former since it 
sounded a bit strange to me, but don't quote me on this.
Check with the drive already installed, John, before replacing it with 
the new one.
I've heard that you can fry the SCSI interface in the Mega STe if you 
mess up the termination, so better get this right the first time. Again, 
ask in the "comp.sys.atari.st" newsgroup if nobody here knows for sure, 
or in doubt.

Lastly, congratulations on a great machine! I have a Mega STe myself, 
and it's an excellent Atari ST -the best ST model in my opinion!
