 |
|
I have two 68-pin SCSI drives that I pulled from a server that went
belly up years ago. Does anyone make an adapter cable for these SCSI
drives (like USB or IDE)? All I have are IDE-based boxes now. I want
to make sure I don't have anything I wish I hadn't thrown away before I
toss them. |

You need a SCSI controller. An adapter cable won't help you.

eBay a cheap compatible scsi card? No cheap adapters, there are some
USB to SCSI, but I believe they are expensive. |

Why not run your scsi drives at half-speed (or less) so that you would
think you had USB/IDE/SATA/other acronym drives?

Yes, it can.
Heller, here I thought PeterD was the most cl**l*ss person in this group.
Guess I was wrong.
Even he was able to do a 'usb to scsi converter' google search:
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&rls=GGLG%2CGGLG%3A2006-23%2CGGLG%3Aen&q=usb+to+scsi+converter&btnG=Search
"Results 1 - 100 of about 1,220,000 for usb to scsi converter" |

Jeeze, coming from you that's a complement! I guess I've not been
calling you a troll enough lately, and you've been feeling ignored. |

I still haven't tried outthe one that I got from this site:
http://www.geeks.com/
I bought it in dec of 2006. You'll ptrobably have to phone or exchange a few
emails with them to find it on their website, but their internal code part
number for the unit was [USB2SCSI] and they were selling for about
US$25/each. Physically they have the normal USB connector on one end and a
shielded cable ending in a plastic module that has an HD-50 SCSIconnector on
it to connect to an external connector on an external SCSI drive
case/chassis. The bubble packed adapter is marked 'made in China' - where
else, right?? It also states that a CD is included for installation. It's
marked USB1.1 and made for these OS's [Mac 8.5, Win 98, Me, 2000, XP]. If
they've still got some and you are up for it, that should be enough info for
you to describe the product to one of their sales staff.
Good luck,
tim

Yeah, that's obviously the one to go for. Goes like a rocket, at 1 MB/s.
