Trying To Access Syquest Syjet 1.5gig SCSI Drive Via Parallel Port












0














I am trying to access the contents of a Syquest Syjet 1.5gb drive that I have connected to the parallel port. The cable allows for connection to the parallel port as well as a scsi device.



I have upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and am trying to access the scsi drive based on this post at ubuntuforums.org: How To Get Your External Syquest Drive Working In Ubuntu



I want to access the drive in order to get files off of the drive then I can retire the syquest drive. I also have some Iomega 100 and 2 gig Jaz drives I would like to do the same things with as well.



I followed the instructions in the above mentioned article and created an executable text file that was saved on the desktop that I tried running from both the desktop and from the terminal with no success.



So my question is: what do I need to do in order to be able to access the scsi drive from the parallel port and copy the files off of it?

  • amd64 refers to x86_64. It works perfectly on Intel X86_64 CPU's so you can almost certainly update to 18.04 or 18.10.

  • What happens when you try to run the script? Do you get any error messages? What shows up when you run dmesg | tail -n 20 after doing modprobe paride? Edit your question to include any output from the commands.
