ACARD also makes an UATA-to-UW-SCSI converter. I use this for cheap storage on my otherwise all UW-SCSI Mac. These have a claimed internal data transfer rate of 40 MB/sec. This converter coexists with my all-LVD SCSI bus just fine ... and this converter has also worked fine with my UW-SCSI-equipped NuBus Mac (9150; using the FWB Hammer) and my UW-SCSI-equipped PCI Mac (9600, and others; using the ATTO PSC). My Beige's IDE Bus 0 has a DVD-ROM-R-R/W (bootable). My Beige's IDE Bus 1 has a CD-ROM-R-R/W (also bootable). -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
