Dear Community,
how can I connect SCSI tape recorder via USB to iMac ?
Is there any adapter/converter on the market now ?
Cheers, Marek

Thanks Jan.
Actually the reason to use Quantum SCSI tape recorder is to back-up big amount of data (propriety movies footage) both on PC (what is quite easy, using SCSII host adapter with VHDCI 68 connector) and iMac what seems to be not easy. All my search by Google leads to that conclussion, they finished production of SCSI-to-USB or FireWire because somebody stopped to produce chips to covert protocols. So even buying noe second-hand adapter, no guaranty it's still working with Lion (nobody is developing drivers anymore). Strange is, nobody or just a few are using SCSII (Ultra 320) devices (while the transfer is not bad, 320 MBps what is 2560 Mbps, so the only limitation is tape recording (some 80 MBps) not an interface. Using compression mode I can (and I do) record 1,6 TB of footage data. However quite slow, is safe and cheap, comparing with any HD storage solution. USB 2 is much more limited.
I'm using Time Capsule for buck-up. But even 3 TB one day will be full of data, then old back-ups will be eaten by new once, what is not good idea for archives. I'm using another 2TB NAS HD (2x2TB RAID 1), but this is also going to be full soon.
Of course, you are right, the option is another machine (OSX,Win,Linux or Solaris) equipped with SCSII controller. But this requires another machine, just for back-up time to time, and in practice iMac folders must be shared with that small auxiliary machine because amount of data practically excluding even temporary data collection on auxiliary machine. And it must be transfer by wire, not WIFI, my only network. Tape recording is in my case really good, professional solution, isn't it?
Anyway, if somebody has similar requirements as me, and found the solution for SCSI, please let me know. So far, follow Jan's idea, I'm thinking about some embeded mini PC, fanless, equipped with slot for SCSI, with SOME smart system on-board, to deal with iMac for type recording. The option is previous Apple model, but to be honest, I became Mac/OSX user 4 years ago. I fell in love with Mac, but my knowledge about previous models is based on Google....
My desk becomes full of boxes. Do you know how big Quantum TC-L42BX is ? Is very big. And now another box.....another keyboard....another screen... And one small adapter could solve the problem. Eh....
Best regards,
Marek

  • How can i connect 24VDC to digital input (usb 6008)

    hello,
    how can i connect 24VDC to digital input (usb 6008), is it possible with some optocoupler?
    thanks

    The 6008 is a static DIO, so speed shouldn't be an issue.  Therefore an optocoupler should work.  Just make sure you get one the meets your specs.

  • How can I connect to a NAS via internet

    I've been searching the forum for an answer and have found close but not quite. I'm running a Macbook on Snow leopard as is a friend that I am now working with. She (or rather, her husband) also has a NAS connected via a wireless router on a home network. We would like to load the files that we are both working from on the NAS so we are working from one set of master files. We both move around alot (btween Fance & Italy). Now, I can access the NAS easily from her computer on their network - the Mac picked it up automatically but now that I'm home, I can't seem to find it on my computer. I've tried putting the IP address of the NAS into Safari - error message, server not responding. I've also tried to connect to server via afp - same thing
    My question is: how can we access the NAS via the internet? Does her husband have to specifically creat an account on the thing for me? I'm at a loss here as I have no experience of NAS devices.
    Thanks in advance

    The problem here is that you do not have direct access to items on their LAN. What you need to do is set up port forwarding on their router so that requests on whatever port the NAS uses are forwarded to the NAS from the router. The other way (probably more secure) to do it would be to set up virtual private networking (VPN) so that you can connect to their entire LAN as if you were part of it while actually on the Internet. The router would have to support this of course.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I connect to a VPN via PPTP?

    Hello,
    I am a foreigner living in Taiyuan, the capital city of Shanxi Province, in China. I bought my macbook the summer of 2006. It still works perfectly except I cannot connect to the internet here at the university.
    The internet here is split into two parts: local, and international. The ethernet connection allows me to access Chinese websites, but nothing else. It sounds counterintuitive but really, that's how it is. In order to get the rest of the world, all computers have to connect to a VPN via PPTP. Once this is established, viola, you have internet.
    My problem is I cannot seem to connect to the VPN. I have used Internet Connect, I have created a VPN via PPTP, and put in all the right numbers...
    the VPN IP is 202.207.128.115
    the username is tyut
    the password is tyut
    But when I try to connect, it just says it can't. Nobody at the university has been helpful because they've never used a Mac before, and besides which, they aren't used to using a computer in English.
    Can anyone help me? Or does anyone know how to get in touch with Apple Services in China (in English)?

    Yeah, but that's not the problem here. I'm an English teacher at Taiyuan University of Technology (the irony does not escape me). The other teachers have PCs and can get full internet in their apartment. Since I have a mac, it's much harder for the school technicians to help me.
    This is what my log says from the VPN connection (which does connect now.)
    Mon Oct 29 16:05:52 2007 : PPTP connecting to server '202.207.128.115' (202.207.128.115)...
    Mon Oct 29 16:05:52 2007 : PPTP connection established.
    Mon Oct 29 16:05:52 2007 : Using interface ppp0
    Mon Oct 29 16:05:52 2007 : Connect: ppp0 <--> socket[34:17]
    Mon Oct 29 16:05:52 2007 : local IP address 172.30.1.252
    Mon Oct 29 16:05:52 2007 : remote IP address 172.30.1.2
    But I still can't load any pages from the VPN connection, just the regular ethernet connection (local internet). It doesn't work if I use IP addresses instead. :-/ I unselected "send all traffic over the VPN connection" because if it's selected, I don't even get local internet.
    Looking online I found a possible fix, but it's for Windows XP. I don't know how to find the same settings on the Mac...For Windows XP:
    1. Click Start -> Control Panel
    2. Click on the Network and Internet Connections icon and then click "Network Connections". If your Control Panel is in classic view, simply double click the "Network Connections" icon.
    3. Right click on the new VPN connection and select Properties
    4. Select the "Networking" tab
    5. Verify that Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is highlighted
    6. Click on the Properties button
    7. Within the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties window, click on the "Advanced..." button. Within the Advanced TCP/IP Settings window, REMOVE the check mark next to "Use default gateway on remote network"
    8. Click "OK" to close all open windows
    Where would the "default gateway on remote network" be on a Mac?

  • How can i connect my ipod touch to my 27inch iMac via bluetooth?

    I just bought a new 27inch iMac and i have an iPod Touch (one just before they came out with iPods with cameras).
    What is the step by step procedure to connect these 2 devices via bluetooth? Or is that even possible? Bluetooth is already activated on the iPod.

    You don't.  This is not and has never been a feature of ipod.  Sorry.
    Bluetooth is for stereo headsets/speakers and some peer-to-peer apps from the app store.
    Not the news you wanted.  Sorry.

  • How can I back up ipad on icloud? Keep getting message "There was a problem completing the back up. Please try again later." I have, many times! The trouble shooting info does not resolve the problem.

    How can I back up ipad on icloud? I keep getting the message "There was a problem completing the back up. Please try again later." I have done so MANY times! I've followed the instructions ( I believe!) and the trouble shooting info does not resolve the problem. Can you please help?

    I had this exact same problem because the router i had in my house was having interference issues and the speed was too slow to do it.
    I would download a speedtest app on your iPad and see how fast your internet is.  I think the app is called speedtest in fact.

  • Can't connect macbook to internet via usb

    I connect to the internet via the ethernet connection when i'm away at college and that works perfectly. But when I try to connect up at home via the usb connection from our broadband it doesn't recognise any internet connection.
    Do I need to change settings or something like that?

    Jsut to clarify: Are you able to access the router's Administration UI from a browser on the server itself? If so, that rules out a configuration issue (at least with the type of link) with the computer and the router. Are other computers attached to the router able to get online at the same time? What DNS servers is the Windows Server 2008 machine using?

  • How can I connect my MBA 11" 2012  to my Imac 21.5" mid 2010 as a display unit. Connected using a mini display port cable and this did not work. Any guidance welcome. Thanks. John

    I bought a belkin mini display unit cable( new) and connected the thunderbolt port in the MBA ( 11" , mid 2012) to the Imac mini display unit port using this cable. Pressed the CMD & F2 keys on the Imac keyboard as required but this did not work. Should I try with another cable ? Should i try with a thunderbolt cable ( recommended by appple support ) -- but they too were not sure about this. Is the Mid 2010 21.5" Imac not able to function as an display unit? Any guidance would help and will be much appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Only the 27-inch iMac and Mid 2011 and newer iMacs can be used as an external screen, so you can't use your Mac as an external screen. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
    You can still use your iMac as an external display, using an application like ScreenRecycler

  • Can't connect two external drives via USB hub to the same port.

    I have two external hard drives connected to my MacBook Air, along with other USB devices, using a powered USB hub. When I connect both external drives to the same port via the USB hub, one of them disconnects with an error message saying it was improperly disconnected. The same thing happens when I connect one of the hard drives and an external DVD drive via the USB hub. The two drives work fine when connected to separate ports. Other USB devices coexist with one of the drives quite happily. Can anyone explain why this is?

    External drives may well require more power than a port can supply. Also, many USB hubs cannot be used for external drives. It's always best to connect an external drive directly to the USB port. If the drive enclosure has a second USB port on it, then you can daisy-chain a second drive to the first, sometimes.

  • How can i load multiple ase files at a time or is there any other adobe software can let me preview multiple ase files

    I downloads multiple color schemes. I want to know if I can open them all at once without opening one by one.

    For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself.  I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
    For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so  no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

    Thanks for replying. The plan you have it would be an additional charge to add the hotspot feature. It's not free with the Nationwide plan. You would need to add the feature online at www.verizonwireless.com/myverizon
