Well, if you have a SCSI Drive, you will have to hook it up to the computer 
in some way. That makes it mandatory for the computer to have a SCSI 
Interface, so it can speak the language of the drive.

There are USB->SCSI interfaces around; never used one so I don't know how 
well or if it works.

If you have a desktop you can get a SCSI card; get an inexpensive one; say 
$50 or so. And get an appropriate cable to hook it up.

If you have a notebook, get a PCIMIA SCSI card, if your notebook has PCMAIA 
ports.

So as you see, there's plenty of options. But since this is a temporary 
thing, perhaps you should look to the "buddy pizza" system, where you find 
a friend that has what you want, and you ask him if you can borrow his 
system for a sec while you send out for pizza.

On their system, you can simply make an image of the drive, burn it to 
CD/DVD, and move it back to your system. If it's larger than a CD/DVD, 
zip/stuff it, and split it into sections - I suggest WinRAR or MacRAR for this.

The major conversion programs support reading image files as well as the 
actual drive; that's why this is possible.
