I have a S900. Currently it has a ATA133 Sonnet card (Recommended) but boots from the internal 2gb SCSI. My 900 is on a Sonnet 450mhz G3 card and is running Jaguar. NOTE: Before I got the ATA card I was running a AHA2940 PowerDomain SCSI card with a couple of 18gb 68pin SCSIs NOTE2: Any drive on the AHA2940 WILL NOT BOOT INTO OS X PERIOD! But... they WILL work as secondary drives under X on SOME machines. I say "some" because I have seen them work in a Power Tower Pro, Once in a 8550 WGS, not in a Powerbase. It does in a Umax S900, did in a 7500, did not in ANOTHER 7500. As you see, no rhyme /reason here. In all cases though on the Umax S900 or any other machine I was using, I was booting from the internal SCSI so in answer to the question: Yes OS X works on SCSI, but it doesn't particularly like it..... -Bart -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
