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&E dug up a mate to this baby next to the
Sphinx.

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.
