Thanks to those who responded.  In the end, I had to give up because even
the latest Dell bios on that machine can't handle SCSI and IDE hard drives

I simply moved the new drive to an old underutilized server that behaves.
It does mean that those backups are over the network, but I can live with
that.

Correct. We do it to some degree too.
