The system I use (OSX) to mange the SCSI2SD cards configuration and
firmware doesn't have a SCSI.? I'd think of it more as a "nice to have"
than a requirement.? The V6 cards allow data exchange via USB2.
If you have the appropriate images, you can just DD the data directly to
the microSD cards on OSX and Linux.? I move and backup images for RT11,?
XXDP,? NeXT (Intel and 68K),? SunSparc, Linux and VMS this way.? The V5
cards have shown themselves to be quite versatile in my shop.

I've used the SCSI2SD with great success with
vintage DEC computers.
On QBUS machines, both vax and pdp-11, it has worked with Emulex UC07,
TD systems Viking, Andromeda SCDC and the DEC RQZX1 controllers.
I have used it on native SCSI controllers in VAX 3100, VLC 4000 and 64
bit ALPHA machines.
The only other point I would make is that you need a linux system with
a SCSI controller to move data in/out of the SCSI2SD.? I am using a 64
bit Debian system and I found that the 32 bit SCSI2SD utility wouldn't
run on the 64 bit machine and needed to be recompiled.? However, I
still use a Windows 7 computer to setup the SCSI2Sd via USB.
