see the page about this adapter, linked below. So, why do I think th at adapter would work?.
Scsi to usb converter adapter Pc#
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.

It looks like it has drivers all the way back to Win ME/2000, so you shouldn't need much."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)" If you find one with a PCI slot (not PCI express) then you can get a high quality, used, adaptec SCSI adapter for under $20 on ebay. I just took at look at the spec on that page I linked to and at first glance saw that the minimum requirement was 64 GB of RAM. As it doesn't currently have a firewire card, I expect that would be a similar situation. I just remember that there were issues with either the adapter or the drivers. Don't need the 17 inch bed that much but when we do, it's great to have. It's an old scanner but I got it from a company that didn't use it that much and it was completely overhauled (doc feeder, belts, etc) shortly after we got it.

We've a closet full of OLD Dells that I expect could be used to come up with something. I expect you're right in that a replacement pc would be the most practical route. If this scanner is worth it and provides an important service for you, you also might consider setting up a cheap old desktop with an internal PCI SCSI card to scan from There's also a network adapter (For $350) you can buy for the scanner to use it on the network.

If your laptop has an expresscard or cardbus slot, you can get a IEEE1394 (firewire) port to use the scanner. It looks like your scanner had a firewire option. You might be able to find one on ebay, but no guarantees it will work or have drivers for your laptop/OS. There were a few USB 2.0 to SCSI adapters made, but they were buggy and expensive. It's also pretty complex and was tough to put in a USB adapter. Really hasn't been produced for about 10 years.
