Trantor Mini SCSI Plus Cable

Trantor was bought out by Adaptec. You might try them.

There were three models that I'm aware of:
T338 (rectangular thin box) that hangs off of the parallel port, or screw
it on so that it gets enough leverage to break the connector. The black
labelled earlier sub-model is significantly less reliablke than the later
blue labelled one. Also marketed briefly through NEC (they once had the
drivers on the web)

T348 cable based model.

T358 cable based model with ECP/EPP support

NONE of them are very reliable; but it's a handy way to hook things up to
laptops, etc that don't have provision for a "real" SCSI controller.

Would you like me to snail mail a copy of the disk? Or would you prefer
e-mail attachment?
