Manufacturer's product description
Adaptec's SCSI Card 2940UW Pro is the industry standard for Ultra Wide SCSI. It delivers unmatched compatibility, ease-of-use, and 40 MByte/sec performance that servers and workstations demand.

For desktop PC, workstation, or server environments, the 2940 Ultra SCSI card family meets your system demands and provides the kind of solution you've grown to expect from Adaptec products.

Advantages: Works well out of box; captures video as MPEG-2 flawlessly Disadvantages: Stopped working after a Microsoft update - Adaptec will not offer free fix.
...Product served me well for transferring several piles of VHS tapes to my Media Center 2005 machine. Then - Microsoft came out with some software update and product only works for a limited time. Pause it while recording and the PC freezes. restart the PC and it no longer detects the device. Remove device - uninstall drivers and uninstalling WinDVR 3 all temporary fixes - problem reoccurs. Doing the C++ registry hack worked very limited, now does not. Adaptec - with this known problem - can not even be contacted outside of their "pay" support. Adaptec has not updated their searchable database with the "fix" - they apparently demand their customers to pay them before they assist. A sad state of affairs within a once-great company. Shame on you, Adaptec!...

Advantages: Portable Device,Good for small time duration capturing Disadvantages: To convert 30 minutes of captured video it takes around two hours
...It Captures the Video in real time mode but drops number of frames.So you donot get the smooth motion of a scene. Same result is observed in the video cd. The manufacturer has set the time limit for capturing to only 600 seconds. After that audio & video goes out of sync
The software(sonic My DVD is supplied with the unit is also not user friendly.It is very slow. One major drawback is in preview mode, the source sound gets muted.It becomes difficult to recognise the scene.In video editing mode,after trimming unwanted footege,the audio video synchronisation goes totally out.The resulting vcd projet has very poor quality with lot of pauses and choppy movements.Very Furstrating.other capture devices has got far better quality than this Adaptec AVC-1100....

Advantages: Plug n play, reliable, efficient Disadvantages: A bit pricy
...Finally, just when I was begining to give up on ever attaching my SCSI drive to my system, along came the answer to my prayers. A neat fitted in seconds, no need to open the case solution; the Adaptec USB to SCSI connector.
This piece of electronic genius allows you to connect virtually any SCSI device directly to your PC through its USB port. It works and is brilliant. It just plugs in and away it goes. Everything is supplied and with easy to follow directions.
It is not cheap though, expect to pay about $50 ($90) for it but compared with a SCSI card & cables it probably works out the same and is definately 100% less hastle than trying to configure an already stuffed full to the brim machine.
It's got my vote....

After going off the pill 8 months ago, I began suffering regular acne - pretty frustrating for a 30-year old. I tried many different cleansers and gels and get regular facials, however nothing seemed to work. On a whim I picked up the PTR acne clearing more
Some interesting facts: the Koss Portario headphones were first introduced in 1984. Over the years the company preserved their original design but improved their performance.
