Hi All: Looking for a SCSI 80 pin ->50 pin IDC -> USB converter. Can't find any such animal. IDC = IDE. Can't find that either.
Anyone know were I can get one?
Looking at SCSI 80 pin ->SCSI 68 pin ->to USB also. Can't find.
Or this converter?
Thanks
Robert

"80 pin SCSI to USB adapter"

Lots of adapters to be found. Even some videos.

For example:

https://www.bing.com/videos/rivervi...E060844AC1682F6EE8ABE060844AC1682F6&FORM=VIRE

As for which adapter to use - that depends of the devices you are trying to connect.

There may be proprietary cables and connectors involved.

Which means that the only source for the required adapters may be the device manufacturers.

The device documentation may list some applicable part numbers.

The plugs may fit but if the pinouts are different the adapter may not work.

Well perhaps I don't understand. 80 pin SCSI, 68 pin SCSI are standard connectors. USB is per standards.
I don't think anything I am thinking about would be proprietary. The only one confusing me is the 80 pin SCSI
to IDC (which is supposedly the same as 50 pin IDE). Neither of which i can find any adapter for.
If these are "standard" how can pin outs be proprietary?
Thanks
Robert

Well, the Adaptec adapters are REALLY expensive. 2-3 hundred dollars. Way to much for just fooling around with an old server.
I have an Adaptec 3944AUWD that was in server along with some others. It is LV Diff 68 pin connectors.
