do a web search for "usb scsi converters"

www.dabs.co.uk sell the belkin adapter.

you make need a cable with different ends there are about 4 types of scsi
connectors
(from memory, the old centronics (40 or 50pin) scsi 1, the 40 or 50 pin
micro centronics scsi2, then 25 pin D (Mac/Zip) and I believe there is an
external LVD which is a 70 or 75 pin micro centronics (not too sure about
the actual numbers).

if its a new PC I find it hard to believe that its not PCI, and if the scsi
card is old then it might be ISA ( even VESA LocalBus or EISA [of if you had
a PS2 MCA])

you might want to identify the cards connector.
