I have a very old G3 PowerMac (the beige one, desktop,

has a USB connector and works nicely with my laptop...
The G3 has a SCSI drive, and I *think* I need a USB to
SCSI converter to connect it to either my laptop or
the external drive, but I'm not sure.
I've been pursuing the USB to SCSI adaptor question so I can connect my
Pismo running Tiger to an assortment of older Powerbooks (SCSI disk
mode).
So far I have not found an adaptor that will work in OSX.
This has motivated me to install OS 9.2.1 on the Pismo.
Now I need to download the Belkin drivers, boot into Classic and give
it a try.
For your problem I agree with the USB and/or Firewire PCI card
suggestion.
A lot simpler than messing with the SCSI disk and you get new ports.
