Investigate a SCSI to USB adapter. A google search for "SCSI to USB" came up with about 2,590 hits showing devices from Belkin, Microtech and other respected cable makers, plus good information on the pros and cons of using such an adapter. The price for a SCSI to USB adapter seems to be in the $79 US range so that would be a significant additional cost.

I talked to the IT Manager again, and found I had misunderstood what he had

where the conflict could potentially come in. Unfortunately, I clumsily
interpreted that as a network conflict. :-)
