Typically, the belkin solutions need an os9 driver and they only work
with one device at a time, no scsi swapping (reboot required). I
have both: the usb is an HD50 scsi that comes with an adapter to
25pin, the firewire is a 25pin like the back of your mac/clone. They
will work with External HD cases, scanners and pretty much anything
scsi. Your jumpers for ID number are irrelevant as it works with any
single device on the scsi bus. To use with OSX, you just need to
startup classic and have that os9 required extension in your classic
setup. I use them with both 9 and osX, but not so frequently anymore.

Great Solution reply, Michael.
I'm intrigued that you can buy a SCSI to USB adaptor. Couldn't I buy
an external USB HD case, put the USB to SCSI adaptor on the SCSI
drive and put it in the USB case.
Boy, would that be a time saving boon to retrieving some of my data
from old SCSI HD's ... though would the jumpers be the same ?
