I bought a dozen 18 GB UW-SCSI drives from a well-known "rescue" source. New drives, $39.95 apiece, for 18 GB (about $24.95 for 9 GB drives). I'd stick with UW-SCSI. In fact, I've recently converted by main machine from all-EIDE (using the on-mobo buses) to all-UW-SCSI (using an ATTO/Apple UW-SCSI card, which was: 1) flashed from Apple to ATTO, as to manufacturer, and, subsequently, 2) flashed to ATTO's latest firmware). My $0.02 worth. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
