I was curious and had a spare benjamin for one of these from eBay,
thinking it would be a handy USB to SCSI adapter for convenient
imaging of old drives, as it was mentioned as one a month or two
ago on the Reddits.
I'd like to find a manual and hear anecdotes. Mine is a model T4,
has USB 2.0 and Firewire 800, circa 2005. I was surprised to see
they were made in New Berlin, WI. I don't see any mention of
this model on their web site https://digitalintelligence.com/
nor any mention of "ultrablock" in my CCtalk archives.

Firewire 800 sounds great, that's certainly what I'd be using if I had one
of those. I'm jealous.

might be a good starting point. Good luck!

I just now used one tonight to image a JAZ disk that I found. I used DD on
a modern Linux box. These little bridges do come in handy and are pretty
convenient. I really like mine quite a bit. My only criticism is that
once you have it all connected (USB, Power, SCSI Drive) there are
literally wires everywhere, but that's just how SCSI was.
