Obviously blind as well - last non-Intel OS doesn't mean it didn't continue to get supported because it did... just like Win XP doesn't mean last version that only required a piece of toast to run on rather than a real computer...

I suppose that you never noticed the funny shaped socket on PCs (Firewire) and all the weird sockets that took SCSI on PCs as well, not too mention things like removable caddies (SCSI) exclusively for PCs etc and I guess you must have blinked or maybe been too young to have noticed SCSI being around for many, many years and certainly not short-lived... and why you'd be paying 50 Euros for a converter??? Try eBay/Amazon/Google for lots of USB/Firewire adapters designed to allow Firewire use on machines with USB but no Firewire...
