Bought this from eBay recently: Mac Adaptec 2930CU UltraSCSI card This Ultra SCSI card will fit in any Mac with PCI expansion slots and provide UltraSCSI (up to 20MB/sec) transfer rates.
Perfect for external SCSI CD/RW burners or JAZ/ZIP drives, or internal Hard Drives. Attach up to 7 internal/external devices. It has the following connectors: -external 50-pin High-Density (SCSI-2 female) connector -internal 50-pin Standard SCSI connector Got it out of interest rather than necessity. Cheap enough I suppose, about $12 US so it does not matter so greatly but when I fitted it, it had the effect of stopping the monitor from firing up! I isolated the factor to its mere presence in *any* of the PCI slots. I tried it in a perfectly working stock standard 7300 with 200MHz cpu, 128 ram. Tried it with different monitors etc. Yes, I pressed cuda. As I say, merely putting the card in any slots, never mind any cabling, prevented the monitor (I even tried a different monitor) from doing anything but be blank. Pulling the card and restarting (doing nothing else) resulted in the monitor working again, bright and all (no message saying "Phew! What was that you were doing before"). Any thoughts anyone? Dead card? Inappropriate card. It was pulled from a G3 Blue and White.
