Usb to SCSI converter cable
Found this morning, was just 1€ boxed including soft :
Apparently wasn't used a lot, will be useful to connect SCSI devices to USB only computers (including laptops)
Should be too late for me, but who get a free Imac ??

Oh man, I remember these! NewerTech made one too. Just keep in mind, a lot of people complained about these back in the day, as they were only USB 1.1 (USB 2.0 hadn't shown up yet), and were a tad slow and unreliable. Still, nice score. 
tested this afternoon, working fine with a hard disk, the syquest drive wasn't detected...still have to make some tests.
Nice to see a SCSI device mounting happily the Ibook Clamshell:
The SCSI id was properly detected too:
Even SCSI Probe was able to catch the drive:
Only drawback, the disk should be unmounted i guess, as the Ibook wasn't happy when trying to shut down...no big deal.
Well for 1 €...i can't complain, i have seen those sold for a 100 $ in several places... today.

I had something like that with my first iMac. I also remember just how slow it was.
I scored one of those recently as well, an Addtronics one - has a weird connector on the end though I need to find an adapter for. Does yours need drivers under OS 9/X?
The weird connector is probably the HD 50, i was lucky to get the DB25 one.
Just tested with the clam (Mac OS 9) and the driver was required (but was in the box anyway)
Won't be used a lot, but don't feel too slow, just average.
From what I understand, they won't work with OS X. At least, not without some serious fiddling with recompiling Linux drivers and other things.
:O
I've been vaguely hunting for one of those to analyze (though I prooooobably oughta buy a logic analyzer first) and, like you, I've only seen them around the US$100 mark, give or take.
Sooner or later you should come to France
(i have seen too many free Minitel for you)
