The biggest challenge in setting one up here is likely to be figuring out which SCSI adapter would work with such a drive (there are lots of the drives around), and finding a machine to stuff it in. I remember the Adaptec 154x (won't work) and the 294x (might work?).
I had a mix of cards and drives. Some were Single Ended, some were Differential, some were Wide, some weren't.


I think the main cards I used were the 1542, 2940 and 2944. I also had an adaptor from printer port to SCSI. I had DOS drivers for it. That was very slow.

I know there is a SCSI storage emulator called (IIRC) BlueSCSI that uses an RP2040 to emulate a SCSI disk. I wonder if something like that could be adapted as a USB/SCSI interface.
