SCSI drives
Are SCSI drives old types of hard drive or newer types. How do they rank in history in the emergence of IDE/SATA/Other newer? Older or newer? And is there anyway to attach a SCSI drive to a newer/older PC that uses IDE/SATA to read its data?

Ideally just by a cable not a bridge

So theres no cable you could use to attach a scsi drive to say your USB port? Or no cable that if you open your PC up you can attach the SCSI drive to a SATA cable?
No, in exactly the same way there isn't a cable to attach a VGA card to your toaster ;)

Also, there is ALWAYS something lost in conversion. The obvious thing with USB is speed, but it is really moot, just get a used controller for a few bucks and move on. Heck, you can get old servers that have SCSI controllers and boot them to LINUX loaded on a USB stick or CD drive and then migrate the data. The older systems with SCSI controllers that once filled data centers are all going to scrap now, they work fine for what you need.
