I want to attach a SCSI device (my DAT drive) to a laptop computer.
There appear to be two ways to do this: a PC Card SCSI adapter such as
the Adaptec 1460, or a USB 2.0-to-SCSI adapter -- the only one I know
of is Adaptec's USB2XCHANGE.

Does have anyone have experience with these solutions? Informed
opinions on which would be more robust? Faster?

From a technical point of view I prefer the USB2XCHANGE approach, but
it's relatively new technology, so I'm a bit wary.

My mail address is jsachs177 at earthlink dot net.

I use a 1460 under both Linux and Win98 to do backups to a DAT drive.
It works. The DAT drive speed is the limiting factor, not the
interface speed, so from a speed standpoint, they will be about the
same.
