 Posted: Fri Nov 14, 2008 2:44 am Post subject: Where to find an ORB cable ? |
 |
|
I have bought on Ebay the "Castelwood ORB USB smart cable", and expected to get access to my SCSI disks through a simple USB port.
Fact is, the connector is "way smaller" than any SCSI cable I have.
Where to find such cables/connectors/adapters ?
What is exactly ORB ?
Is this device really usable to read SCSI HDD ? I know it will be slow; i am just asking if I will be able to access data.

Every one knows Ebay. ORB seems some kind of prop standard.

They are not hotplug, and, can not be "easily extented with a cheap 2m cable".

I found some orb drives, not the smart cable. Also, you asked a question, so it is up to ou to deliver information.
