USB XpressSCSI USB to SCSI Converter Cable   

USB XpressSCSI with HD50 adapter

Part# USB-SCSI-HD50 (EOL, NA)  and  Part# USB-SCSI-DB25 (EOL, NA)

The USB XpressSCSI is a USB to SCSI Converter for new iMac, G3 (blue and white), G4, or Windows 98, Me, 2000 or XP PC owners who wish to use existing SCSI peripherals such as hard drives, and CDR.

The converter is designed as a cable with a standard USB connector on one end, and either a SCSI DB25 female or HD50 male connector at the other. The SCSI connector is attached to the external device and the hot-swappable USB connector is plugged into the CPU or hub. The connector supports up to 7 devices in true plug and play fashion, recognizing devices on the fly without requiring users to restart the computer. The USB XpressSCSI is fully compliant with USB spec version 1.1, and delivers a maximum data throughput rate of 1.2MB/sec.

The first release of the software driver for the converter will support storage devices including SCSI hard drives and most removable media solutions. Microtech also promises an ongoing development schedule for driver updates and expects to support scanners and other third party devices in upcoming revisions. Driver upgrades will be free of charge and available for download from the Microtech Web site.
