I've seen SCSI adapters that will go through the parallel port, and
I'm sure that they're available for USB, too. Don't expect much speed
out of a parallel port adapter, though.
SCSI devices other than drives often come with a SCSI card bundled,
and it's often best to use that card, if available.
There are different types of SCSI, some of them apparently physically
compatible but electrically incompatible, so be sure to check the
documentation to see what version you need, and get an adapter that's
compatible.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
