Hi all,
I have some old, OLD projects on ZIP disks. The problem is that we no longer have the Mac here with the SCSI port on it, so I have no way of getting the files off it (short of using MacDrive on Windows). I have an old Adaptec 2940(?) SCSI card for the Mac at home and I just want to know if it'll work on this Dual 450 G4 tower. Thanks.

Mike

Should do, I have an old adaptec card I'm going to try in my G4 450 as I have a DDS2 tape drive I plan to attach.

If you try this before me, let me know, if not I'll post here when its working.

I have an SIIG UltraWide SCSI card in my SuperMac S900. Works fine in that machine. But when I put it in my Power Mac G4, the machine refuses to detect the card or the drives attatched to it.
