<< I mean, as David said: "Yes, it could replace your hard disk, but you would either need a 68 to 50 pin adaptor, or a 68 pin scsi card. I would recommend the card, as you will get much better performance from the drive." >> I picked up the ATTO cards from OWC for something like $39.95. I use these in my PCI Macs. As my NuBus Macs are equipped with a FWB JackHammer cards, and as these cards have internal 68- and 50-pin interfaces, and external 68-pin interfaces, it made good sense for me to simply convert to the 68-pin interface for all new SCSI purchases, and forget all the hassles and incompatibilities with 60-to-50 and 80-to-50 converter cards. Plus, all my Apple Network Server (ANS) drives are 68-pin. So, at least in my shop, I'm gradually moving to UATA/66 or better drives (most PCI Macs which have on mobo EIDE/UATA) and UW-SCSI on all others (irrespective of NuBus or PCI). My $0.02 worth. As usual, YMMV. Peter. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
