Win95 SCSI HD on USB?

Ron Hardin

What do I need, to read an internal 2GB SCSI HD from a Win95 PC, using a USB
port under XP?

you say you want to read it... so the first thing to know is where the drive
came from and how it was formatted. others have offered suggestions on how
to physically connect the drive to your system but that does not necessarily
mean you will be able to read existing data from that drive, but rather only
means that you would be able to interact with the drive (read/write)
possibly only after reformatting the drive. also, there are several
different scsi interfaces, do you know which you have or could you at least
cough up the model number of the drive?

The simplest way is to have an Ethernet port in each computer and just
read to 95PC drive that way.

Another possibility might be to use a USB to serial port adapter on the
XP machine; the Win 95 machine almost certainly has a serial port (I am
assuming that your question means that the XP machine does not). I
would think that you could then use a traditional file transfer program
such as Kermit.

you mean you want to read a 2gig scsi hard drive on a new pc running xp ?
if the hard drive is on a pci scsi card
then just put that in the newer pc, with the hard drive
if the scsi adapter is on the motherboard, you will need a scsi card to
plug in the newer pc (so you can plug the hard drive into it)

dunno what you are talking about usb for....
do you mean it's an external scsi hard drive or something on the older pc?

More money than it is likely worth, unless the data is critical. There
are USB to SCSI controllers (Adaptec used to make one) that you can
likely find on ebay. Depends on the SCSI connector (there are three
different ones).
