Yes, a SCSI device can be attached to a USB port. The SCSI device will have a small rectangular piece on the side that you can insert into the USB port opening.

Yes, a USB port can supply a small amount of power for attached devices.
The USB 2.0 and 3.0 device will work. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0.
They work with any computer that has a USB port, to a USB device.
I am not going to answer you because I hate you!
Usb port
First try moving the device to another USB port!!! Check that the usb device is functional in the Device Manager. some USB devices don't appear in Device Manager use the utility program that came bundled with the device to check for errors.
NO. A computer port is a hardware or virtual device (software) that allows data to pass from one area to another of the PC's hardware and/or software environment. The Periphial device is usually a hardware device the needs to interface with the appropriate port in order to send, receive or interact with the PC and other devices attached to the PC. An example would be somthime like a USB (universal serial bus) external hardive attached to a USB port in order to read and write data.
A port is a place through which a peripheral device attaches to a computer so that data can be exchanged between it and the operating system.Peripherals devices can be attached to a computer in several ways (depending on the age of the computer:An RS-232 serial port connectionA parallel printer port can supply two way control and communication with a deviceA usb capaable device can be connected to a usb connector.A firewire portA device adapter card can be plugged into an available compatible slot to support additional devices.SCSI devices can be attached via a compatible SCSI adapter.An eSATA (external Serial ATA) device can support SATA devices.A wireless or wired network adapter can be used with networked devicesAn HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connector can support various communication devices besides audio and video output.
A wireless mouse requires (typically) a USB port for the receiver. As long as your computer has an open USB port and the drivers to support the device, it doesn't matter what type of keyboard is attached to your computer.
Put a known good device in that port...process of elimination!
You can plug in any device with USB, such as a USB stick or an external hard disk.
