Adapterkabel

[IdeeUndKlang]

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can find an adapter between Pin 40 IDE to 50 Pin SCSI or to 68 Pin SCSI?

Many thanks,
Naama

there is no such thing.
if you own a scsi disc, but only ide/ata on mainboard,
you need a scsi controller card, which one depends on your mainboard and your scsi disc, and, of course, your operating system.
and you need the right cable, and, maybe you need a scsi-terminator.

There is no cable you need something like this

Already saw it but I see only one place for one hard drive. How can I use it an adapter?

You cannot convert an ATAPI drive to SCSI or vice versa, both protocols are not compatible.

- if you have a SCSI-drive, you need a SCSI-HBA.
-if you have an IDE/ATAPI-drive, you need an IDE-Controller.

It is that simple.

Only SAS-HBAs (serial attached SCSI) can also use SATA-Drives.

Do you have:
a) a SCSI-Drive and a PATA-Controller
or
b) an IDE-Drive, but a SCSI-Controller?

Discripe your problem better and you will get better answers.

SCSI isnt compactible to IDE or SATA ... its a whole different standard.

You need a controller and the Cable ...

The only adapter I have is USB 3.0 to IDE / SATA. 50 SCSI is to big and 68 SCSI is female so I can not connect it as well

Read the wikipedia entry about the XY problem and describe your X, not your Y.
AKA: Why do you think you need such an adapter? What do you try to accomplish?

Nobody can help you here right now, because what you have in mind does not make sense to us.

Facts not fiction ... we cant see what you want too do.

come with facts ... i want too install a xxx Drive ( NAME and so on) at my XXXX

the absolute minimum that you have to do
is describing your problem in a way that athers than you can understand it.
which disk on which device?

I am sorry. I though I was clear. I have a mac and and 2 kinds of external hard drives. The connection of them are: 50 pin SCSI male and 68 pin SCSI Female.
I want to connect this external hard drives to the mac in order to copy the data from the external hard drives to the mac

I have never seen any USB-adapter for either Fast- or UW-SCSI. Doubt any exists (for a reasonable price, at any rate).

Your best bet would be to take any old computer, chuck in a SCSI-Controller, boot into linux and create an iSCSI-target.

Even if such an adapter exists: You'd also need a power supply for the drive, it will not run off of the USB 5Vdc.

then you either need a mac compatible controller card wint a 50 an a 68 port, or
i think better,
you use a pc store (whith a technician, of course) simply to let copy the data on a, for example, usb harddisk or stick.

mac and scsi, once standard on a mac, but that was really ages ago.
the pc store do not need a mac or the ability to interprete the filesysytem in order to clone the partitions.
but there are many more pc-scsi controller cards out there than mac compatible.
and ist is not so easy to correct setup a scsi chain.
so buy the time from someone, who do not have to think about such a thing as get data back from an slightly older standard.
i hope, the data is readable, because its not very good for the integrity of the data, if it is stored a very long time.

Thanks you. I'll pass the information on
