Hardware :: Any Way To Connect SCSI To MacBook Pro
Jun 19, 2010
I have a 17" MacBook Pro and a MicroTek X6EL SCSI flatbed scanner. Obviously, there's no SCSI card in a MacBook Pro, so can anyone tell me if there's any way to use a SCSI scanner with a MacBook Pro? I kind of doubt it, but I thought I'd post this anyway, just in case there's some kind of adapter that can plug into the SCSI scanner and maybe a firewire or usb port on the MBP. (You never know if some genius out there has come up with a converter.)

I recently found a box of Zip100 disks and drive, complete with power adaper and 25 pin scsi cable in storage. I want to inspect them before disposing to make sure I didn't leave something important on them. How can I connect this Zip drive to my MacPro?
Info:
Mac Pro (Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Of course I am happy with my G5 (12.1/PPC3.1), but during the whole process of upgrading all the way up from my Macky 512, lots of data, that took me more than a decade to collect, have been left alongside the road. I still have a SCSI HD here, with 12 years of accumulated files, to which I no longer have access. Is regaining those files as simple as buying a SCSI-to-USB cable or should I expect a complicated and problematic procedure ahead of me?

I have an old SCSI dedicated slide and negative scanner. It produced scans so much superior to the two newer scanners I've tried, so I'd love to put it back into use. The available SCSI-USB adaptors are expensive, and the software for the device isn't available to work with Tiger or Leopard OS anyhow. I am thinking of looking for an ancient Mac to use the scanner with, or maybe even an old PC. Any feedback on what a smart way to bring my old SCSI Polaroid Sprintscan 3500 scanner back to life?

I could use some help getting data off of my old Mac II ci System 7.1 that I stored some 12 - 13 years ago, I think. The reason I stored it was the Super Drive (floppy) was erratic - worked sometimes and not others. I had the drive replaced, but the problem persisted - someone told me it was probably the floppy drive controller, but I never dug that far into it at the time. I suspect the box has Applenet, but I never used it or any other networking scheme with it, except dial-up modem.
I started reading here about problems associated with accessing SCSI drives, which I assume mine is - it was the big 100 MB! How do I access the data from it? Or, give me a starting link for researching it, please. After I do that, how do I read it or convert it into something I can use in Mac OS X? I had Great Works word processing, spreadsheets, and drawing programs, and some AppleWorks data, along with FileMaker Pro 2.0 (or 2.5, but not 3.0).

I need a bit of info on a device I found in a box of surplus stock... it's an Orange Micro SCSI to Firewire (IEEE1394) model 70HTL00010 - Standard 25-pin SCSI female connector to standard Firewire 6-pin female connector.
I discovered that Orange Micro went belly up a few years ago, and I don't have the instruction manual for the device. There seems to be very little concrete info on the web about that device. What I specifically need to know is the voltage of the power adapter (missing) of this device. From what I gathered, it can run without the adapter, but some SCSI devices will require it...
Any link to a PDF file or just the voltage of the adapter would be very helpful! I was thinking of trying to run a nice SCSI slide scanner through the Firewire port of my G5 with that converter.

So my sister's girlfriend is a professional photographer. Her former consultant get her an SCSI 68-pin connected Sony StorMaster tape drive that backs up her 3 big NAS drives with all her work via EMC Retrospect. This was on a PowerMac G5 tower with an SCSI 68-pin card installed. She's moving and has tasked me with getting it all up and running again at her new place since she's fallen out with the old consultant (who did some weird, weird stuff with their network - why are there 3 switches for the NAS? Why does the Airport run through two of them? WTF?) and got an iMac 27" i7.
Now, problem is, obviously that her i7 has no way of plugging into that SCSI tape drive. She's been using her G5 purely to run Retrospect which is a waste of space and energy. Plus she's moving to a much smaller space, so I really, really want to get it out of there. So here's the thing - I CANNOT find a 68-pin SCSI to USB adapter other than one by Ratoc, which apparently only lets the tape drive function in "mass storage mode" which doesn't really tell me if it will work with Retrospect or not. Is there another solution to keep the current tape drive and plug it into the iMac?

I read another post in this forum and from it I understand I need firmware version 1.2 for the adaptec 39160 scsi controller for mac. after much googling, can't find that anywhere. all the download sites reference the ftp adaptec site which is no longer responding.

I have a blackbook (intel core 2 duo) and I can connect to my landlord's wireless network (they have a netgear wgt624) but I can't actually use the web (Safari or Firefox will just "think"). I've tested the diagnostics and it confirms that my mac can connect to the network, but it cannot connect to the internet. The network uses WPA personal and it has a 19-aphanumeric passphrase.
*Also - would it be possible for me to extend the wireless range (and make it possible to browse the web) if I used my own 2wire wireless modem to connect to the netgear wgt624?

I don't know what's wrong with it.My ipod touch connects just fine and yet when i try to connect my new macbook it won't allow me to connect.I've never owned a macbook - so i have no idea how to fix this.
I currently have the network setup assistant running and configuring - but it's been about an hour and it hasn't done anything.Is there something else i need to do?

It is on my home network which I have been using for months. I have made no changes to my router or network setting. Other devices will still connect to the wifi with no problem and I connect through the ethernet connection with no problem. I have disabled the wifi and restarted my computer with no luck.

What i did was open the ipod through mycomputer (windows XP) and cut the folder that contains all my music and pasted it into mydocuments so i had full amount of memory on my ipod to use it as a memory device. I gave it to my friend to put some videos into my ipod again through mycomputer. He didnt allow the ipod to sync on his itunes. Now i have it back i plugged it into my pc and my itunes couldnt pick it up and neither can mycomputer. I left it plugged in and restarted my pc when it booted up i opened itunes and it was sort of froze, after leaving it for a minute or two my ipod cam e up on itunes but it said it was corrupt. I ran the restore over night as it was taking along time and when i cam back this morning it was still doing it! Whats wrong with my ipod?! is there any other way to system reset it? do you think my mate should have synced it with his pc?

I can pair the device ok but if I try and add it as a device in iSync it says it can't connect to the device.
Macbook Pro - 10.6.1
iPhone - 3.0.1

I'm trying to connect my Macbook (white, purchased in early 2009) to my TV. I have the composite (red, white, yellow) cable plugged into my TV on one end. On the other end, the yellow is plugged into apple's mini DVI to video adapter which is plugged into my Macbook, and the red and white are plugged into an adapter that is plugged into my headphone jack. Audio is working through the TV, but video is not.

I'm having a very strange Cisco VPN issue. I connect to a Cisco VPN every day for work from my macbook. Currently I prefer to turn off the Airport when I'm at the desk and use a wired connection. If I try to connect to the VPN with only the wired ip up, the VPN times out and says it failed to negotiate. If I unplug and turn on the AirPort it works fine.

I plan on connecting my Macbook Pro 5,5, to my TV, using a mini display port to DVI. However, I am thinking of 2 issues I may have.
1. My TV is tall and thick, and I want to put my macbook on top of my tv, but the adapter I plan to buy, will CLEARLY be too short. What do I do?
[URL]
2. I also want to play the audio of the movies to play out of the tv, not my mac. So how do I do that? Also, is there a chance it won't be in sync?
