Yes. No driver is needed. I've used it on both Windows and Linux and it
just works. I don't have a manual, but I connect the SCSI device before I
power on the UltraBlock. I turn on the UltraBlock and wait a few moments
then power up the SCSI device. After the SCSI detect light turns green, I
then plug in the USB to the computer. The host detect light should turn
green at this time and it will show itself to the OS.

I was hoping they just present the SCSI drive as a block device to
the operating system, did not require proprietary software,
and that they'd work under modern Windows as well.
My only criticism is that
once you have it all connected (USB, Power, SCSI Drive) there are
literally wires everywhere, but that's just how SCSI was.
And then there's the blood sacrifice. Fortunately I have bales of cables.
