SORRY, I FORGOT SUBJECT LINE BEFORE
Dear listservers, These questions straddle PCI and G4 Macs, and I
belong to this group only. We recently purchased two new G4s for our
graphic artists, who now have 8600s.
here's the situation:
G4-1
Problem
want to install an existing narrow scsi 18 MB internal drive
need to be able to plug in a nikon coolscan scsi slide scanner
Solution
can either get an internal SCSI card and run both the scanner
and drive, or
buy a new drive and an external solution for the slide scanner
G4-2
Problem
Need to access the SCSI scanner
Solution
internal scsi card or external FireWire/USB -> scsi adapter
Esimated Costs from http://www.macconnection.com/ , as an example
50-pin scsi card (PD 2930U) - 89.95
Firewire -> scsi adapter - 119.95
USB -> scsi adapter - 59.95
20G IDE harddrive - 89.95
30G IDE harddrive - 99.95
What do you PCImac listservers think? Are there any other devices or
future expansions we might have overlooked that might require a
certain solution?
Thanks for your help,
Bollard
