Could some parallel SyJet users confirm that parallel port SyJet is just a SCSI drive with Parallel-to-SCSI adapter? In this case you can easily use it on both SCSI and non-SCSI machines - just get the right cable. Yes. I use the same SyJet drive on SCSI based PC's (and a laptop) here as well as using the Parallel-to-SCSI adapter to run them on non-SCSI PC's. The not-so-little black "pass through" cable contains the parallel-to-SCSI conversion interface. That's why the connectors on the SyJets are the SCSI-2 style HD-50 connectors. When I run the SyJet on SCSI, it is faaaast! Simply fabulous! If performance is a non-issue, I suspect one could even use this EPP/SCSI converter to connect multiple SCSI devices to a PC in a pinch (well, at least with the NT drivers that I've been using). As for external EIDE mentioned earlier in this thread --- Don't bother. There's no 'native' support', and the only remotely standard approach uses EPP. Other custom "extenders" don't buy you portability. (If you had to open the PC to be able to attach the drive, what's the point?)
