So you have never been able to yet boot OSX? The Mac Edition Radeon PCI works in OSX but needs to be in slot 1 or 2 and it may be easier to use the Twin Turbo which likely came with your machine.If you still have it. You can then use the newer card after the install and first boot. The E100 SCSI card doesn't work in OSX and isn't really likely ever to. But stranger things have happened. So you would need a SCSI 50 pin drive on the internal SCSI ribbon cable. or an ATA drive hooked to an ATA PCI card. Have you been to Ryan Rempel's site and read all the stuff there and gotten the software? http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/
That is your best bet read it several times and follow his well written directions. I recommend not using the beat version of XPostFacto at this time "We" are still working and testing it.It doesn't work right on my Umax machine yet. Don't take this the wrong way but I tried to help you in the past and if I couldn't help you then... I don't think my methods have changed since then. best of luck Will S -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
