If may chip in here... I have an LC and tried it with both an ATTO and a Adaptec U2B card and fancy terminated cable. 10,000 rpm and certainly not low profile (tall as a house). Got it running but there would be freezes... It is on my kitchen table right now and I love looking at it. The adaptor that i got for it came with no instruction about the pins, I can see how to id them but it is a bit obscure about whether it is working in LVD or in SE mode? I will give it a go soon when I have time and see what is what. Anyone want to say anything about these I am all ears... David Elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
