Yes, I have. They are expensive and they SUCK. The Firewire to SCSI ones are quite a bit better, but again they are quite expensive. In most cases (scanner, inkjet printer, Zip drive, hard drive) you are a lot better off in terms of time, money and aggravation to just sell the SCSI stuff on ebay and replace it with USB or FW as needed. In the case of Laser printers, if you can retrofit them with ethernet/network cards then great. Otherwise, you'll need to invest some money in an Appletalk-to-Ethernet bridge or a serial-to-USB adapter (which seems to work quite well if you get the right kind). _Chas_ "Here is the thing you will learn from really using an OS X Macintosh, and must somehow accept on faith if that's what it takes to get you to Switch: Apple makes design decisions based on a sincere desire to make your life better." -- Glenn McDonald -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
