Hi Frank, Could I be a pain and ask you to post the Panther CD back to me? Sorry, forgot it was in there.
I put Panther on that machine as I think it was the last version of OS X that had SCSI support. I'm not 100% sure as I didn't look into it too deeply. It definitely recognised the SCSI card, but I couldn't get it to spot either of the devices. Not sure what's happening with the other G4 at the moment, I might yet keep it as a file server. If I do decide to get rid of it though, you'll be first to know. Cheers Darren PS - Glad to hear it's found a good home, it was just collecting dust - and therefore gnawing my conscience - round here.
