Quick technical question in the hope that someone might know. I have an old CCTV digital recorder (DVR that records video from CCTV cameras.) On this unit there is no way to get images from the hard drive. However i can connect an external CD/DVD writer via a 50-way SCSI -2 connector.

my question is does anyone know if CD/DVD writers till come with SCSI connectors or if there is an adaptor that could link the SCSI socket on the DVR to whatever is on the back of a DVD writer (Firewire, USB2.0 etc).

Google is not being my friend today so any help would be appreciated. Also if anyone has a SCSI CD writer they don't want i might be in the market, as long as it's in good nick.

Thanks

Cheers

I have an old Yamaha CRW4416S, it has a 50-pin internal ribbon connection, but I've got it sat in a 68-pin external SUN casing, I have a 68-50 pin cable as well.

Must have cost me about £300 with an Adaptec interface back in the day when IDE writers were a pipe dream.

Not doing anything with it here, weighs a bit though because of the SUN caddie.

While I'm at it, anyone want an old Umax SCSI flatbed scanner. Probably got some ISA cards in the cupboard as well, just behind the three Amgia's, the US Robotics Modem and the Phillips 14" Amiga monitor.

Why do I hoard so much stuff stuff?

And I tend to look after stuff as well.

Cheers. It probably won't happen but if all the bits fall into place I might be in touch about buying it. Looks like a new DVR might be the plan though and it comes with USB and built in DVD burner
