Microtech HD50 USB SCSI

This is a USB HD 50 SCSI card driver. The was released for Windows 98 and Windows 2000 machines so there is no guarantee that it will work on a Windows 7 machine. Note that this driver is listed as both the DB25 adapter and the HD50 adapter driver for the software so check your hardware beforehand.

Always ensure that you have scanned the files you download and ensure that you clean your computer with CCleaner and/or Malwarebytes before you install a new driver. This is made by Microtech International and used the following hardware ID’s.

These are the eUSB SCSI Adapter DB25 as well as the eUSB SCSI Adapter HD50 and finally the eUSB SCSI Driver. These are all the hardware ID’s for the Microtech HD50 USB SCSI. The Hardware ID such as USB\VID_07af&PID_0004 and USB\VID_07af&PID_0005. Likewise the ft232r usb uart is a UART device and not part of this.

SCSI-to-USB converters

If you find yourself unable to utilize a PCI or PCI Express card, there’s an alternative in the form of SCSI-to-USB converters. However, it’s worth noting that these converters are primarily designed for external SCSI devices, which means you’ll require an additional SCSI converter to bridge the gap between the SCSI-to-USB converter and your hard drives with their 50-pin ports. Keep in mind that these solutions tend to come with a rather hefty price tag.

On another note, there’s also the option of PCMCIA SCSI HBAs tailored for laptops. But, much like the USB converters, these have their own set of challenges, and they tend to be even more costly.

Now, as you venture into the world of SCSI connections, there are a couple of important considerations to bear in mind. If you plan to connect only one drive at a time, these issues are unlikely to pose any real problems. First off, SCSI drives come with identifiers that can be adjusted, often through the use of jumpers. It’s crucial to ensure that these identifiers are not set to 7, as this is typically reserved for the SCSI HBA’s identifier.

The second key consideration is termination. SCSI buses require proper electrical termination. Most HBAs manufactured in the past two decades handle termination automatically, and the drives themselves might have built-in termination options (yet another jumper to keep an eye on). However, if you’re only connecting a single drive at a time using a short cable, the issue of termination is likely to be a non-issue.

Installing the Microtech HD50 driver

If you are trying to install this driver then you will need to install it in the following way if the standard install did not work. The instructions are as follows:

1. Right click on “My Computer” and Click on “Hardware” Tab and then click on “Device Manager”;

2. Look at “Universal Serial Bus Controllers” and there will be a yellow sign next to the error;

3. Right Click and hit properties then Click on the “Driver” tab;

4. Click “Update Driver” and Select “No” to letting Windows Automatically Search;

5. Click on search manually and Click “Install from a specific location”;

6. Click “Don’t Search, I will choose the driver to Install”;

7. Click “eUSB SCSI HD50” or HD25 (where the downloaded file has been extracted to.)

*** Windows will say the device is not digitally signed – You will have to proceed to have it work.***

You can search this website for more drivers from Microtech such as the Microtech DPCM USB driver . This as well as the Microtek USB Phantom 330CX Driver which is also on here. You can also see the ft232rl driver if a UART is being used.
