USB to SCSI Adapter - Anyone have one?

I'm trying to find one that works. I need to connect an Epson Expresson 836XL large format scanner to my iMac, and this is the only way.
I'm looking for an OS 10.5.x compatible adapter that has a 50 pin SCSI interface on one side and (USB 2 preferrably) on the other. I'm not sure of the exact SCSI type though.
George Peters found this one for me, but perhaps there are alternatives?

Thanks. ~Kort

Good news everyone!
I bought it and installed it (with a 50 pin port adapter) and am pleased to say that the the Ratoc FR1SX is compatible with the Epson 836XL scanner using the latest VueScan software. And the optional power supply in not necessary. It took a few restarts and some playing with the supplied driver software supplied by Ratoc on a CD, but it does now work smoothly.
I am thrilled. It scans images beautifully, perhaps better than when attached to the old G4. And it is faster as well. For about $150 I know have a working 13x19 scanner instead of having to get a new one for $2000 or more.
So yes, there is a *SCSI to Firewire adapter* out there that works in OS 10.5.2.
Spread the good word...

  • I need a driver for hp 35660a, does anyone have one?

    I am lookng at purchasing an hp 35660A spectrum Analyzer and looked for a labview driver for it and couldn't find one. Does anyone know of any or is it hrad to develop a driver and could you point me in the right direction on how to do this. Thank You in advance!

    Hey Hal,
    I have also been unable to find a LabVIEW driver for this instrument, either from National Instruments or HP. If you are wanting to purchase this device, you will need to build your own driver. The process for creating one would depend upon its interface. For instance, is it GPIB, serial, etc.? Once you know this, you will need to know the commands which the instrument accepts and then build VIs which send these commands to the instrument. Then use these VIs as your driver.

  • I just purchased a like-new Time Capsule, Generation 1. Anyone still have one that is still going strong?

    New to the community.  I decided to replace my Netgear router with a TC.  I found an original G1 on Amazon in like-new condition for an outstanding price.  It is the 500GB model and has had the Apple power supply replacement done.  My question is does anyone have one they are still using from the original G1?  If so, any problems or issues?  I have read some horror stories but have also read positive ones too.
    I will be running my MacBook Pro, 2 PC's, 1 iPad, 1 iPod, & 4 iPhones on the TC.  My understanding is that I can manually backup the PC's.  Thanks for your help.

    The power supply  in the refurbished one is still prone to failure, due to the very high internal temperatures. If you have some warranty wait that out, and as soon as that is finished, open the TC and turn on the fan. Leave the rubber mat off and stand the TC on feet. Alternatively use an external power supply. They will last a long time but only with some effort made to keep it cooler.
    The 2.4ghz will not use 40mhz dual channel so they are restricted to 150mbit connection. And since it is not dual band simultaneous you do not have access to high speed since you must run it on 2.4ghz to run things like iphone and ipad as they do not work on 5ghz band. You would have done better buying the next model.
    If you have a wireless router now, keep using that in G or N wireless at 2.4ghz and use the TC in bridge and run it at 5ghz.
    You can indeed manually backup your PC's. You can also plonk a 2TB drive into the TC. Once you do the above to keep it cool.

  • Micro usb to lightning adapter works in IOS7??

    There are plenty of discussion flowing around saying that IOS7 doesn't support 3rd party cable.
    However, I have couple of devices that uses micro USB cables and I am thinking about getting the micro usb to lightning adapter (official apple one).
    Does anyone know if the micro usb to lightning adapter (official apple one) works with iphone5s with IOS7 on ANY micro usb cable?
    Thanks in advance!

    I saw the reviews saying it works (they guy bought it in Dec 2013), however, I confirmed that mine APPLE-branded micro USB to lightning adapter doesn't work after I replaced my iphone5 with iphone5s (build-in iOS7). I bought it from apple store on Nov 2012. Going to check with apple store.

  • I need a USB/FireWire ethernet adapter

    About 6 months ago my ethernet port was fried when a lightning bolt sent a surge through the wire. Since then i have been using my family's wireless network, but now that I am back in school and away from home, i don't have that luxury. So, i've been looking for a Mac compatible USB/FireWire ethernet adapter and have had no luck. If anyone knows where I can find one, let me know.

  • G4 powerbook doesn't recognize epson 3000 using usb parallel printer adapte

    i downloaded and installed driver per instructions from epson (epson10860). my epson 3000 does not appear on the list of printers in the mac print setup utility. (selected epson usb in window after selecting "more printers." i'm using a usb parallel printer adapter. anyone know why it's not recognizing my printer?

    the parallel adapter is the most likely problem, and it probably will never work, as from what I've ever seen, OS X does not support parallel connections.
    Your best bet is to buy a new printer.

  • Epson 2200 on MacBook Pro - Anyone have that working?

    I'd like to run an Epson r2200 printer (I know it's old) with a MacBook Pro. Epson says the driver does not support Intel-based Macs, and they have no plans to update the driver. I've tried the GIMP driver, and it does not work. Does anyone have one working with an MBP (or any other Intel-based machine), and if so, how did you do it?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    What is an R2200? I'm familiar with the Stylus Photo 2200. The 2200 has intel drivers on the epson site:

    If this isn't what you're looking for then I'm not sure what the printer is.

  • Does anyone have/use their docking stations?

    I was wondering, does anyone have one, or use their docking stations? I just got one. It is brand new, and I like it. I have an A31,R51, and an R52. I love being able to dock them and use them as a "desktop".

    Hi,
    I had a dock with my X40 whose screen got broken during an accident, so only then I used it for a good amount of time as a desktop replacement while docked in the station and connected to an external monitor, I quite enjoyed that experience. 
    I would love to buy one for my T400 as well

  • Does anyone have a black N82 that's working fine?

    I'm deciding on buying a black N82 soon, but I'm still deciding if I would rather prefer the Bold 9000 over the N82. I was just wondering after seeing all these topics about problems with N82, black, that does anyone have one that's been working fine for a while now?
    Thanks.
    Edit: Also, I was wondering after reading some reviews about the N82, are the cases all plastic? And if so, are they good quality? Meaning do they feel sturdy and not cheap?
    What are the pros and cons about the N82, and after listing them and experiencing them, would you still recommend this as a buy?
    And I've also heard that this phone doesn't support US 3G, is this true?
    Thanks again.
    Message Edited by drewhy on 25-Aug-2008 07:16 PM

    I work in telecommunications, so I often get to test the different stuff that is on the market, and I picked the N82 because it was proving to be the most stable and reliable of Nokia's smartphones. Nokia has the most extensive range of any of the big manufacturers, and whatever you may read against Nokia from some less-experienced users on this forum, reliability and updates are no picnic on other companies' smartphones (and here it is important to distinguish between a normal GSM phone and a smartphone - the latter has a limited OS that runs preinstalled apps plus a few JAVA apps; whereas a smartphone is much closer to a computer than a mere phone.
    Aside from the basics of making and receiving calls and messages, I use a lot the camera, music/video players, mobile internet and sat-nav.
    I have taken some fantastic photos with the camera, ignore the 5MP - this is just a technicality, most cameraphones can't begin to compete with a standard digital camera of similar specs. I have found the picture quality of this phone sharp with excellent colour quality, even in poor light which is one area where most cameraphones (inlcuding my old SE K800i) fall down. One downside is that the shutter speed is slow in most modes - I have some brilliant shots of the Red Arrows' smoke trails from the recent Sanicole airshow at Hechtel, but the planes themselves proved pretty elusive, so is lacks a bit when taking action shots.
    The video quality of the camera is also good, it produces excellent VGA-quality video (which is good enough to watch through the TV with the provided cable), though sound reproduction could perhaps be a little better.
    The phone plays MP4 movies vey well, and music playback is also good - the sound from the stereo speakers is reasonable for such a device, and the headphones produce good sound (there are lots of people moaning with all modern phones that volume levels are not high enough, but in twenty years time they'll be thanking today's phones for not deafening them). The only catch is that the music player isn't always very versatile to use. I have a language course CD copied onto my memory card which I tend to access through File Manager. Having said that, I have yet to encounter any phone with a really good music player; they are designed to play music whilst you're mobile, they don't seem to imagine that you might be on a work break, in a hotel or just relaxing in in the garden and so be in a position to take more personal control over your music.
    The internet is brilliant, as the phone has a good inbuilt WLAN system. I live in Belgium, where the mobile internet is expensive, so I rely on being able to use my home or work WLAN or hotspots out in the town. Unlike most mobiles, S60 smartphones have a proper web browser that can view web sites almost as a PC would (allowing, of course for the smaller screen size), and it is much better than the Microsoft Mobile Internet Explorer that I've used in some PDAs and other branded smartphones. The only real snag (which is common in the breed) is that you can't update things like Flash so if a new version comes out, you have to wait for a full software update to the phone and hope it contains this updated feature.
    Another thing I use more and more in preference to the old system I have is the Nokia Maps sat-nav system, even N82s sold with the latest software (v20) come with the old 1.2 version, but update it to 2.0 and it is maturing into a nice package. The only real snag here is the size of the screen, though it did let me down last week on the way home from Antwerp when I left the road due to roadworks and I had to pull up in a service area and restart the app to make it recalculate the route. Only one problem in four months, though, I can forgive that.
    I handle phones of different types all day at work, and I definitely don't regret buying this one.

  • Which power adapter should have come with my 15" Macbook?

    I got a 15" Macbook Pro at Christmas this year and I just looked at my power adapter and saw that it's a 60W, although I thought it should have been an 85W one. My computer does charge when I'm using (and rather quickly too, I might add), but I was just kind of wanting some clarification on this. I'm looking to buy a second power adapter to have one at my house and one at my boyfriend's house. He currently is using a 13" black Macbook (circa 2006, I believe), but is looking to get a 15" Macbook Pro in the future.
    Anyway, I'm just wondering what power adapter I need to purchase, and check that I was indeed given the correct charger to begin with. I don't know how to find my model number, but it was the cheapest of the 15" models at the time. Thanks for your help!

    Eh, not quite: You can use any Intel MB with any Magsafe adapter, but the use of it will vary.
    I use my 17" mid-2010 i7 MBP with a 60W adapter from time to time if it's the one in a convenient place, I've even used it with the 45W only Airline adapter. Note the MacBook's power system is quite smart. If the system is on and active and it needs to restrict the power drawn, charging the battery will be the first to go, and then external power will be supplemented by battery power. So with a 15" or 17" MBP: on an 85W adapter you can play a 3D game and charge at the same time. Whee! Charge time is lessened if you draw less power and minimized if you power off the system and only use the available power to recharge. On a 60W it's possible to draw enough power using the system that charging will take an impractical amount of time. Power the system off and it'll recharge almost as fast as the 85W. With a 45W or airline adapter it won't recharge at all, and if the system is pretty busy, power will be draining from the battery too, albeit at a slower rate than if you were on battery only.
    Think of the MacBook's power system as a water tank with an inlet hose and a drain hose. Inlet hoses come in three sizes, if your inlet is larger than your outlet you can fill the tank (recharge) at different rates depending on the drain (Air, 13", 15", 17" and how busy). The only exception where the analogy breaks down is if your drain is not the smallest (Air) and you use the smallest inlet (45W adapter), you can't fill the tank even if the drain is closed (MB is off).
    If you want the other gory technical detail, only the 85W Apple adapter can switch up the 16v to 18v to allow for a faster recharge on the 15" and 17" MBP.
    Probably more than you wanted to know...
    Bottom Line: If you want to be able to charge any MagSafe MacBook, get an 85W adapter, Apple charges the same for the 60W as the 85W, and the 85W is only a little larger these days. (3rd party Magsafe adapters, not so much, the 60W's are usually a few bucks less.) 85W is what you'll find at the training tables in an Apple store BTW.
    Don't bother with the $50 airline adapter if you don't own an Air. There are several 3rd party Auto/Air MagSafe adapters that will charge a 13" -17" MBP in the air or on the road.

    It would be used internally, to sell recycled goods within our company, but hopefully in time expanded to internet.
