Re: SCSI to USB

[Robert H . Baucom]

Yes, but I have to clear all the Motorcycle parts off of my work bench 
in the workshop. Clean every thing well. Get out a PowerTower or PCP 
out of the attic, put in a battery, hook up all the cables. Install 
hook up the old SCSI hard drive and  transfer. Then  go into the house, 
carry the external USB/Firewire External Hard Drive upstairs to my 
office to transfer. Whoooeee !

Time consuming and project interrupting. That's why I haven't done it 
to this date. Procrastination  is the  word.

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 ?
A USB PCI card, or better still USB/Firewire PCI card would allow 
straight transfer to a an external USB HD from old SCSI HD's 
temporarily connected to a SCSI only clone.
