This article discusses the connection of external SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) devices to iMac and iBook computers.

Apple does not support the connection of SCSI hard disk drives and other SCSI devices such as scanners, Zip drives, or JAZ drives to iMac and iBook computers. Apple does not intend to develop an adapter or cable that would translate SCSI signals to USB or vice-versa, although a number of third-party companies have developed such an adapter.
