It would be easier and cheaper to source a USB Zip drive, or even an IDE Zip drive and USB to IDE converter.

I didn’t expand on my reason.

A SCSI to USB converter is usually sold for around $150-250 depending on the market and the brand.

Conversely, you can often find a USB ZIP drive for like $25-50.

yeah... generally if you're thinking about using a usb-scsi adapter you're doing something very very wrong
