Usually like around 110 for that, or combo a Usb2sata adapter with sata2scsi adaptar, would probably be cheaper.

could you post a link?Are you looking from scsi to ide converter ?Or from ide to scsi converter ?Found one scsi to ide adapter on ebay for 19.99$ at a fast search ,take a look
Hmmm. I don't know. Don't go to any trouble. I'm getting by ok right now.I can check for some SCSI controller tomorrw if you want, I might have an old one around which can probably be shipped in an envelope in that price range. Of course I can check if it's compatible with Win2k/XP.
I suggest you check out this forum for Win98 related hardware.

I must have pissed off somebody with some real metaphysical juice, because I just can't win. Somewhere there is a stuffed rag sewn to look like a computer case and there are more needles in it than Keith Richards on a bender.
It turns out that my memory sucks even worse than I had . . . uh . . . remembered. There's an amusing turn of phrase in there someplace, but I don't have the patience to go on a treasure hunt to find it.
It seems that when I was using these tapes, I was also using Windows 95, not Win98SE. The reason I stopped using tapes was because writable DVD's became available and the cost per 4.7G DVD was less than half of what a 10G tape cost - or at least close anyway. The increased convenience and reliability would also have been considerations.
This wasn't a big deal for the straight backup software, but not all of the tapes used that. For a couple years, Seagate had a product they called "Direct Tape Access". It let you use the tape as a hard drive. You could even drag and drop stuff. If you didn't know any better and tried to use it like a disk drive, don't plan on going anywhere for a few years. But if you understood the limitations, it was nice being able to back up several gig and then just write a couple files when you needed to update rather than redoing the entire tape. I know you can do incremental and differential backups, but there's something to be said for having everything on one tape and being able to do updates on the fly.
After futzing with a 3 tape backup for a few days and getting almost all of it (last tape had some problems), I figured I would check out one of the DTA tapes. Again, being a pack rat came in handy as I was able to find both versions of the software on old CD backups. But neither worked. I finally realized - still not sure how - that I must have run the software on Win95 not 98.
So now, I'm once again trying to gird my mental loins for battle. One would think that after having gone through all of this already with Win98, doing again only with Win95 should be no problem. Mmmmm. It was not long ago that I too believed such fairy tales.

Probably not relevant for you but for future reference...After finding out that the only browser that will run reliably, if at all, under Win98se is Opera, I managed to find a site that has generic USB drivers.

I'm really surprised I haven't started throwing shit yet. I have a butt load of old Travan tapes that I want to sell but I need to erase the data and maybe look at some of the tapes to make sure there's nothing there I care about. I'm using an old Adaptec SCSI card.
There were no drivers for Vista 64-bit so I set up another machine with Vista 32. That didn't work because I couldn't find software that would recognize the tape drive. Well, I did, but i couldn't get it to work.
I tried setting up a virtual machine, but there doesn't seem to be any way to patch the scsi driver through to the VM.
So finally I broke down and figured I'd just install Win 98 in it's own partition and run the original driver and software. Except every time I install the OS, I get an error message saying that there isn't enough memory to load windows. There's 533k of DOS memory free, but no high memory. The total memory is 4Gb. I tried safe mode, but it's the same thing.
So now, I'm rebuilding yet another machine based on a Pentium 4 chip and mobo. If this mutha fucking piece of shit cock sucker doesn't work, I'm going to have to kill something.
I can sell those tapes for about $10 a piece and I've got at least 30 of them - well, maybe less since half are Travan 4 (5gb?) and the rest are Travan 5 (10gb native). Maybe it's not like hitting the lottery, but it's something.
Anyway, anybody who was around for Win98 probably has Alzheimer's by now, but if anyone has a clue as to why it would give me that error, I'd be very interested.
Oh, something else that's odd. When I try to boot from the cd to a dos prompt, it leaves me with a prompt for the A: drive. Except I don't have a floppy drive in the box. I even have it disabled in the bios. One last thing I'll try is reformatting the drive and reinstalling in case there is some corruption from a previous install - but I'm not expecting anything.
The IT gods have got a hard-on for me. Everything I touch that's PC related seems to turn to shit. I'm almost afraid to touch anything.

1. take old HDD apart for the neo magnets...
2. wipe magnet across tapes a few times each
3. ???
4. profit
