Hi, I am stuck with a dilemma, and your feedback may help...
I want to buy a Fujitsu DynaMo 1.3Gb, which is an external Magneto Optical device. The dilemma is on what interface should I go for; the possibilities are UltraSCSI (50pin), USB or FireWire. The PowerBook G3 1999 has a SCSI port, and the riddle here is on its type: is it a SCSI 1, 2 or 3? I did not manage to find out! Looking for a PowerBook cable, they told me that the only one is a something-to-25pin. If this is really the case, then I have a SCSI type 1 (...ARGH!), the adaptor 25-to-50 would solve but the performance would still be that of a SCSI 1... Too bad, as Linux is well supported on SCSI, if compared to USB and FireWire. I did not manage to boot the kernel 2.4.0-presomething, nor to find out about whether the FireWire driver is actually working, and if I have to buy a PCMCIA firewire, what is the one to buy. The other riddle is: why is that Fujitsu's web sites have no MacOS drivers? Sergio
