Re: Using SCSI serial devices with Pismo
I had a problem receiving the digests for a day, so I've had to go to the archives and cut and paste to reply to the responses to my original post.

I have a Zip, SyQuest and a scanner on the SCSI bus and no amount of SCSI voodo ever got them to work right. The short version of the story is that I picked up an 8100 (upgraded to G3) for $100 on e-Bay to run the SCSI peripherals, and have the Pismo and the 8100 connected via ethernet (on a hub) to the DSL and a Laserwriter 630.

Using SCSI serial devices with Pismo
I have some older equipment that I would like to use with my Pismo. The LaserWriter 360 is serial and the film scanner is SCSI. Can I use them with the Pismo and what would I need additionally to do so? If there is a choice, would a USB or Firewire adapter be better? -- Regards, Les -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

On 12/16/02, Les Riess enlightened us by writing: I have some older equipment that I would like to use with my Pismo. The LaserWriter 360 is serial and the film scanner is SCSI. Can I use them with the Pismo and what would I need additionally to do so? If there is a choice, would a USB or Firewire adapter be better? Check Made4Mac on Apple's site - a search for SCSI adapter should do find some for you. I may want to get one of those (think some were around $99 for FireWire to SCSI).
