Then there's another working SCSI to USB adapter made by Microtech, but I can only find one on ebay for about $123.Īnd then, for some reason, the same one is priced at $999.99 on Amazon. otherwise, they're not to be found, not even on ebay. but it's a moot point anyway, since it is unavailable unless PC Liquidators gets any in stock.

SCSI TO USB CONVERTER ADAPTER INSTALL

So, most likely, as long as I have a current driver that would work for that Belkin adapter, or if the one that comes with it on a CD would install on Windows 8, it would work. Note: Even if the Adapter is plugged into your USB port (or Hub), it must first be plugged into a SCSI device that provides termination power before Windows will detect and enumerate the Adapter and the SCSI device(s).' A “New Hardware Found…” dialog box will appear. Plug in the USB SCSI Adapter to a free USB port on your computer, or USB Hub. Make sure that the device(s) are powered up. See appendices for adapters and cables you may need. Connect your SCSI device or device chain to the USB SCSI Adapter.

Then, the instruction manual for this Belkin adapter says. The USB to SCSI Adapter trick is for convenience or necessity - not for speed.'

SCSI TO USB CONVERTER ADAPTER SERIAL

'The Belkin USB SCSI Adapter with Termpower ($99.95) let's you connect an external SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) device such as a CD-ROM drive, CD-Burner, Scanner, Zip Drive, Printer, and so forth to your computer via its Universal Serial Bus (USB). see the page about this adapter, linked below. So, why do I think th at adapter would work?. I emailed PC Liquidators, and they basically replied with 'We may or may not get more of those Belkin SCSI to USB adapters back in stock'. I think 'Termpower' means that it has the ability to terminate the SCSI chain. it's a Belkin USB SCSI Adapter with Termpower F5U115. The problem is that one one of those, which was only about $40, is no longer available, from what I can find.

they support the SCSI protocol to work with USB. So, after that I found a couple other older actual, real DB25 SCSI to USB adapters that are meant to work with other types of SCSI devices, and not just printers.

They will not work with other parallel devices.' Also, they do not work with anything other than printers. 'note: These adapters will work with Multi-Function or All-In-One printers, but only for printing (in other words, they won’t allow you to use the faxing or scanning functions). see this webpage, linked below, that displays info for one of these simple DB25 parallel to USB adapters that says. It appears there is a little PC board inside these adapters, and info I found says that they are to convert the parallel printer signal to USB, which would do nothing for a SCSI scanner or any other SCSI device besides a parallel printer. sorry Henry, I guess it looks like I was wrong.īut there are a couple other alternatives in real, actual SCSI to USB adapters, but they aren't available anymore, so now I'm thinking just putting a PCIe SCSI card in my new computer might be my only, best option, and for only about 21 bucks.Īfter Eifel posted his reply, I spent a few hours looking at other forums and other alternatives, and I found info that indicates that these fairly simple DB25 to USB adapters (like the male and female SCSI adapter cables I linked to in my other posts above) may only work with old parallel printers.

Well, though I'm frustrated, I think you guys are right. Just because they both used a common D-sub connector doesn't mean they are interchangeable. 'Use a little caution on mixing DB-25 printer and DB-25 SCSI adapters.

'I would be really surprised if a IEEE-1284 cable as the one above would work with Minolta scanners (If confirmed, I'd be more than happy to remove the old Adaptec 2906 PCI card which I'm still using in my PC and for which I needed to create tweaked drivers for support under Windows 8.1 and 10)'
