There use to be a SCSI to USB adapter (XircomR PortGear USB To SCSI Converter - PGSCSI, U1-SCSI) put out by Xircom (www.xircom.com or tel.: 800-438-4526), which I believe was an Intel subsidiary. I believe it was a SCSI 1 version of SCSI (the first version of SCSI) that would work for Mac OS 8.6. I do not know if it is still available - I doubt it, if it will work with later Mac OSs - I doubt it, or even if Xircon is still in business. I do remember that it was expensive as compared to other types of adapters.
You may be able to find it on ebay. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2008 2:47 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [filmscanners] SCSI support on a Mac Pro > > I currently am using my Polaroid SprintScan 4000 on a Windows computer > with an installed SCSI card. > > I am about to buy a new eight-core Mac Pro.
