PTIII Hard Drive

I'm thinking of connecting a hard drive installed in the spare bay in my 8100/100 to the Digi Bus using a ribbon cable, thus dispensing with the clumsy external SCSI cable. The only disadvantage I can think of is that Digi advise carrying out formatting and other housekeeping operations via the Mac bus and this would mean opening up the Mac each time.
Does anybody have any experience of carrying out these tasks via the Digi Bus - is it viable?
Also, narrow SCSI drives are becoming rare - can I use wide or Ultra drives with PTIII hardware?
