Fixed: Microtech HD25 or HD50 USB SCSI now working on Win XP

[Strat96]

I know this is 5 years later but thank you so much. I really needed to access this drive and I could see it. I had to do a VirtualBox machine running windows xp because there was nothing for windows 7 (but I will try to see if I can get it to work anyway). But this saved me so much. I used this to access a Pinnacle Micro Apex 4.6 gb Scsi drive using the Microtech USB to SCSI adpater. Again thank you so much.

I found the drivers fine and I kept thinking I needed the driver for the Apex, but other comments on various forums said that windows should find it as a drive if the Apex was set to Direct Access, which it is. I even went and purchased a scsi terminator because I did not have one, even tho the drive worked fine without it before. What a relief, and, POOF! just like that I did what you said the the drive showed up in my VBox Xp machine as well as the host Win7 machine.

Glad this was able to help!

If you could e-mail me the drivers I would be most appreciative. The drivers I had did not seem to have the same inf file you mentioned in your post.
Thank you,

Hey Jeff, sorry I didn't see that you posted until today. If you still need the drivers just PM me your email.

A stale thread for a "stale" product (!)

I have a Microtech XpressSCSI USB-SCSI-HD50 that I am trying to see if it works. I have an Iomega ZIP 100 Plus and a DB25 - HD50 adapter which allows me to connect to the Microtech (the ZIP has a DB25 SCSI connector.)

I have Windows XP, VISTA, 7 and 10 on different PCs.

FIRST QUESTION: Without any drivers installed, when I plug the Microtech USB connector into a Windows PC, should I get the PnP "Device Inserted Sound" and then the "Unknown Device" balloon? Or should absolutely nothing happen? (Obviously, the Microtech LED does not light up either - but that seems to happen ONLY when it is actually working.)

IF Absolutely Nothing, SECOND QUESTION: Will it work with the ZIP 100 Plus? (there is so little information about this cable, but I seem to recall people saying it doesn't work with Zip drives but does work with JAZ drives.

Have you tried going to Computer Management then to Drive Management to see if the drive is recognized there. Reason the PNP may not be showed is the dive may have to be initiated.
