Replacing my startup SCSI drive with an ATA133 drive was perhaps the best speed improvement made on my 9500. I use both an SIIG ATA133 controller card, and another brand as well (can't remember the name off-hand). Both can be used for startup drives, and the SIIG is OSX compatable (although I'm not using X at this time, just 8.6 - 9.2) The SIIG card was about $80US new, and the other is an ATA66 card bought off eBay for about $40. Great investments. I even use cheap PC CD-ROM burners now, connected to one of the ATA cards. ---Alex -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
