Manufacturer's product description
The goal of the Grappler SCSI was to create a family of high performance SCSI interfaces for the Macintosh, at very reasonable prices. The Grappler SCSI is ideal for the new "Blue" G3's which lack on-board SCSI, or for the older PCI based Macs which require a major SCSI performance increase. There are economical models for attaching external SCSI peripherals such as standard hard disks, Jaz drives, scanners, as well as high-performance Grapplers for RAID applications. Many of the "Blue" G3 customers are looking for an inexpensive way to hook up their existing, slower SCSI devices such as scanner and Zip drives to their G3. The Grappler SCSI 906F is a Fast SCSI-2 device. It is double the speed of Apple's original SCSI.

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....

Look inside The Orange Box...
The Orange Box is a rather ambiguous title for a game, giving very little clue as to the game's contents. If you have not heard of this game before, you might be surprised to find that it does not, to my knowledge,... more
