Also running 10.2.8 on a PPC 8500 G3/500 with on-board video, and it is fine there ... not as great, but fine.
I also recommend checking with Jeff at mc price breakers about the adapter / card needs ... he's The SCSI Expert ...

Not only do I need to know which card to buy for this Mac, but I'm thinking of moving up to G4 on this or a 9500, and using some version of OS X. I realize that some fast SCSI cards don't handle OS X. So my question becomes:
1. which card should I buy?
You don't need a card, you need an adapter. I have one of those Cheetahs in my 9600 and it works great. Write to Jeff at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and he will hook you up. Give him the type and model numbers off the drive. He's a GREAT resource for adapters, etc....
2. which version of OS X should I run on a G4-upgraded 9500?
From experience, 10.2 Jag rocks on a G4 upgraded PCI Mac. I never went to Panther on one, altho it runs excellently on this G5.....
