If you have a SCSI interface on your PC, I see no reason why you can't just 
hook it up to the PC and EXS will see it and transfer it. (Or does the EXS 
just do CD's?)

If you don't, you're going to either have to use another computer (that has 
a SCSI Interface) to copy it on a CD (maybe that would be best), and the 
EXS can do it.

SCSI Interfaces are real cheap these days - CompUSA sells them for under 
$50. I have a bunch in inventory as leftovers; heck, I might as well give 
you one. They are ISA's, but they really work well. (Most new computers 
have just PCI slots, but even then, ISA slots didn't go away as fast as 
people thought.)

No matter what, you will need a SCSI Interface on SOME computer to move the 
data off the MO.

(P.S. - what's an ESX?)
