Hello, I have some older but good and fast SCSI 2 drives that I'd like to connect to my Quicksilver. What would be the best solution?

1) get an internal scsi controller? then an external bay?

2) get an external firewire bay that supports SCSI drives?

Any other suggestions, or suggestions for solutions for the above two options?

Thanks much.

There are no SCSI bays that support FireWire that I've ever seen. There were SCSI-FW adapters for native SCSI devices, but those always sucked. Your most reliable bet is a SCSI card.
