Would a brand new SCSI drive be compatable with this ancient machine? It's a 25 Pin SCSI connection, just like a parallel port. I'm not sure if I just need an adaptor or need to find an old SCSI-I type drive.

The 25 pin was for the external connector on most Amigas. The actual SCSI-1 connector is the 50 pin connector that will be on the inside of the machine connected to the back of the drive.
Out of curiosity is this an A500 with an external drive, or an A1000 (or 2000) with the internal drive?
On the A1000 and the 2000's they offered a whole series of 3rd party add on cards that had the additional drive literally screwed to the card. See the image below.
Let me know what you have, I have numerous 50 pin drives that might work for you.
