I just ordred a new DP 1 GHz G4. I have a Nikon Super CoolScan film scanner that has a SCSI connector that I want to attach to the G4. When I was placing my order, I said that I wanted a SCSI card installed by the (mail order) seller. The salesman consulted with his tech person who told him that the best bet would be an ATTO (sp?) card that would cost over $200. They would not guarantee the performance of the cheaper cards, such as Adaptec, which would cost in the $80 range. Also, they would not take back the cheaper card, if it didn't work.
The salesman advised me to go to a retail store and buy one of the cheaper cards and try it out. If it didn't work, than I could return it to the store and then maybe get a more expensive card. He also advised me to do some additional research on SCSI cards before I received my computer so that I would have better info. Hence, my posting here. Can anyone give me any advice on SCSI cards regarding brands and their performance, reliability, etc.? -- Regards, Les -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
