FYI: I use an Adaptec 29160N (yes I know its 32 bit!) in my Powermac 7500 (same setup as the original poster) and it's powered by twin Quantum Atlas 10K 18 gig drives. I have a G3/500 Newertech processor in it (by the way guys, NEWERTECH IS BACK!!!) and I do not use and highly recommend YOU do not use any adapters of any kind as anything you introduce can cause slower speeds. I bought top of the line SCSI cables and terminators and still routinely get about 38MB/sec transfer rates. Trust me, it may be over kill but as far as transfer rates, I NEVER have a dropped frame or a skipped beat from video or music.
I am however looking into 7200RPM Firewire drives as an alternative or possibly for backup. Good luck! -- John England -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
