Yamaha External CD Burner

[bonestonne]

ok, so i went to the dump monday afternoon, and on the way home, i found something that caught my eye, and i was wondering if anyone could give me any insight into it.

Its a Yamaha external CD burner

Model #: CRW2100SE

year: 2001

interface: SCSI

it has a pair of 50 pin SCSI inputs on the back, and RCA output. it uses the same power cable that a PSU uses. is there a type of interface cable that goes into USB or anything else that i can use? whats my best bet if i were to keep this and try to use it?

i want input before i do anything. at the moment i know it turns on, and the CD tray opens. i don't want to really say i wasted anything in taking it. although i may have.

its a 16x10x40x burner and if i manage to get a way to use it, i'll be using it at school, not home. it doesn't have to be fast. i'll also post another topic in a few days about something else, but what i have now is what comes first.

Try to find a working SCSI adapter for it.

i've seen PCI cards with SCSI inputs/outputs, but is there any other way? like a simple SCSI>USB cable?

does anyone know? im gonna go to compusa later this week and find out for sure, but if theres a 'wise guru' on the subject that would be wonderful

thanks, im going to compUSA tomorrow to see if they have it, if not i'll get it off ebay.

right now my graphics are going fast. they've been on and off constantly lately. i know i need a new card, but i can get XP on the 1.4Ghz computer, i'll use that instead of this. the bottom 1/3 of my computer screen is colored purple/black/green/yellow in bars. its quite a sight. although moving my mouse over it clears it up a little. lol. this is discusting, im so sick of this Genoa Phantom. wheres my Radeon....
