I have been trying to follow the instructions on the Adaptec site for
getting this to work with a jaz drive
The whole thing seems to work and connect and install its drivers and
read the disc and try to open in Windows Explorer.
But at that stage, the whole thing stops working and XP suddenly
reports that it cant see its E drive
Anyone got any ideas on this one please? Or have the newest security
updates killed the drivers?

I am trying to get old data off the Jaz cartridges which I have so
that I can throw away the drive and the cartridges. I was wondering
whether there was a workaround for Lion or SL which would let me use
it as a more direct alternative to using it in a PC or VM. I am
certainly hoping that I don't have to install 98SE in its own VM to do
just this!

you for this task?. It adapts the Jaz to a parallel port. I have one
that I don't need since I don't have a Jaz drive or disks.

the mac which I suppose will achieve what i am trying to do.

It's an adapter that allows the SCSI connector on a Jaz to be connected

to a standard PC parallel port. If you don't have a PC, then this may
not help you as Macs don't use a standard PC parallel port.
On that note, have you tried using it on a SCSI port on a Mac? The Mac
OS may have suitable inbuilt drivers.

cables some years ago when no computer I had left had any such port:
The Mac hasnt used SCSI for years either!
