Linux / Sco Stuff.

[Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO]

I have NEVER seen a 486 with USB ports.  I imagine if you had one with a
PCI port, you could add a USB  PCI Card.   That adapter you sent a link
to is for what looks like 68-pin SCSI, and his drive is probably DB25 or
50-pin or lord knows what else at that age.  It's a 328MB SCSI drive.  I
don't know if I've even seen a SCSI drive at less than 1 or 2 GB and
still knew what it was.   We're talking ancient freakin history here.

	 A possible "Last resort first" fix seems possible with this.

	Under $75 delivered or better prices from Ebay or local shops-
but it SHOULD work.
	And after the "project " is do n e, either keep it in your
toolset or use it to wipe and  format 
	ALL the stack of SCSI drives in your collection- possibly even
using them for "Offsite Data Buckets" of  data to be safe deposit boxed
etc.
