oldcarguy Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Thanks but it does not say anything about SCSI drives , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamJar Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 That'll teach me to not read the whole thing... You'd normally need a SCSI PCI/PCMCIA/Express Card, but your laptop doesn't have that kind of input. I have some old laptops in Thailand that do, but I'm not there at the moment.

OneMoreFarang Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 You should be able to buy a SCSI USB adapter. SCSI was also common for PCs but more likely for servers and workstations. There are lots of different versions of SCSI so make sure you get the correct connector. If you know someone in an IT department from a company which is at least 10 years old then likely they will have computers with SCSI connectors.

oldcarguy Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Thanks guys, Maybe I am over thinking this and could look for a charger for the laptops. They all have floppy drives ! But I think I have a USB floppy drive reader around here somewhere ???? We had Macs back in the 90s as the magazine world was using them and some of the publishing programs were MAC only.
