Well I don't have the info off the top of my head, but there are adaptors 
for laptops that give you a SCSI port via your parallel port (like the ones 
that give you an ethernet port).  Would be a LOT slower than norm, but it 
would do the job.  If I come across a specific one I'll pass the info along.
