Castelwood Orb drive

I have an older Castlewood Orb 2.2 GB drive and a few backup discs. Anyone remember the Orb drive? I was wondering if anyone would know how I could mount this drive into Tiger?

The software that came with the drive is specifically for OS 9. Would anyone know if there are any type of drivers availabe for this drive in OS X? Castlewood seems to have gone out of business from what I have been able to find out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

MacMini, Powerbook, Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Thanks for your reply. I have a SCSI Orb drive and Castlewood later sent me a SCSI to USB inverter. So now I use USB to connect to my MacMini. And yes, I do see there are dealers still selling this drive. I am going to contact some of them.

The software disk that came originally with the drive only will open in Classic but you would think OS X.4.7 would recognize the drive. Thanks again.
