That's the good ol' FWB Jackhammer SCSI card (E100) that UMAX included in some models. It allows for 100baseT ethernet as well. As for it's SCSI side, it's a 40 mb per second UltraWide SCSI accelerator, which has a 68 pin connector. Much faster than the internal SCSI controller, but must be matched with an UW SCSI drive of like kind to achieve higher transfer rates. (One can add a 68 to 50 pin adapter to a 50 pin SCSI drive but not reap the speed benefits) I'm not aware of any slot issues with that card, which is not to say they don't exist. It's certainly okay in slot 2. It's important to note that no OS X drivers exist for that card. -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
