| accessing data from SCSI drives For PC users, what is the best method of accessing data from the removable SCSI drives (in Kingston carriers) that are still common on hard disk recorders? Is there a table top SCSI box connects to most PCs that allows you to pop in a SCSI drive/carrier?

| Kingston carrier in an external case... Plugs into the SCSI port on the SCSI card of a PC. You can also mount one internally in your 5.25" slot... --Ben |

| My problem (which I should have mentioned...) is that I have two high powered notebooks, neither of which have a SCSI port. I'm wondering what options, if any, exist for this situation. I really don't want to buy a desk top system just to get a SCSI port. But neither IBM or Compaq were very helpful on my first round of customer support contacts. Anything like a SCSI enclosure with some other type of connectivity? I may end up buying the base model of one of those stripped down "audio PCs" you see in the back of the trade mags. It would serve a second purpose: hosting some ungodly large hard drive as another backup/archive option. (currently, I am not archiving to hard drive: final stereo mixes go to both DAT and CD, and the original multi-track recordings get wiped after giving the client 30 days notice. But with terabytes of storage now costing less than a wall filled with DAT (or some other format) of tape, I may finally go hard drive as one of my archive types.

| I've been looking for SCSI to firewire adapters as I'd love to free up PCI slots in my machines. I have yet to find anything worthwhile, though... If you find something, please post it here... --Ben |

| Get an external scsi hdd enclosure ( I have a few laying around somewhere if you want one), then get a pcmcia scsi card for your notebook. Amazon has a $160 Adaptec card that should work. Then all you need is a cable. I have lots of those too.  |
