There are many such adapters. Usually from the drive to a 2 x 25 = 50 pin header. > I also noticed that there are many larger size 68 pin scsi HD's around > than the 50 pin - are these 68 pin drives a bit more recent than the 50 > pin ones, and are they usable in my mac with the adapter? The most common large size drive is an SCA type. There are also SCA-to-68 and SCA-to-50 adapters. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
