We have a server which died (bad motherboard). We purchased a Mac Mini. The old server drive was SCSI. The Mac Mini has no SCSI ribbon, but does have a USB port. What do I need to connect the old SCSI as an external drive to the USB port and retrieve the data?

You need to get a SCSI to USB adaptor.
Adaptec sells a product called USB2XChange. it's a USB2 to SCSI adaptor.

Wow, I dont think you can....I know theres enclosures that you can install the drive in and has a IDE or SAT to USB connection but I dont think they have those for SCSI
Check with a computer site like tigerdirect.com search for drive enclosures and see if theres one that runs on scsi...
I just did but didnt find any....also look up NAS might be there...other than that all i can thing of is over network with a pc with a scsi adapter in it....or get a scsi adapter for the new mac...oh wait you said it was a mini...nm
