Default Old SCSI hard drives

Some time ago I removed the SCSI hard drives from an old computer then
gave the computer to a charity organization. Now I find that I have no
means for reading or recovering any information from these old SCSI
hard drives. I think they have some image files and other personal
information on them that I would like to transfer to my new computer.
Is there any way to work around this problem? Gordon

Purchase or borrow an add-in SCSI adapter that is compatible with that
particular drive, or find someone with a computer running such an
adapter. That's pretty much going to be the only economical way.

Here's a SCSI controller on eBay for $6 and change.

Thanks both of you for this information. I would still need a SCSI
cable to connect to this device. I may go this route but first I want
to try to find an external hard drive box that will work with these
SCSI hard drives and my new computer, using a USB or SATA connection
between the external hard drive box and my computer.
