[ltp] SCSI peripherals on a Thinkpad ?

[Joerg Bruehe]

Dear list members,


besides my IBM Thinkpad (R51), I operate desktop machines, and for these 
I have SCSI tape drives.
Due to historic reasons, I have some spare drives, and it sure would be 
great to connect one to my Thinkpad.

I know it is unlikely, but I still ask:


Does anybody here know any possibility to operate a SCSI device (SCSI-2: 
single-ended, narrow) from a Thinkpad ?

Theoretically, I could imagine a converter from USB, like the one for 
IDE disks in external casings - has anybody ever heard of such a thing ?
Or a PCMCIA card ?


(Yes, I know I can access them via ssh and pipes, and that 'tar' handles 
the notation "host:device", so I really ask about direct connection.)


Regards,
Joerg
