I am trying to find if my sound card is defective. When I check system profiler I dont know the name to identify the sound card. When i click on SCSI it states no information found. Is this the sound card?

SCSI is an advanced bus system found in workstations and other high-end hardware. Because itīs hardware components are expensive computer manufactories like Apple and others skipped SCSI long ago (mid nineties) and favoured the cheaper solution IDE. You definitely have no SCSI hardware built into your PB.

All PowerBooks released before 2000 (except for the PowerBook 150) have SCSI.
But no, that's not the audio hardware. System profiler doesn't list the audio hardware.

And the 5300, and the 1400, and the Duo 2300, and the 3400, and the G3, G3 Series, and Lombards. Don't forget the clamshell iBooks too!

The iBook isn't a PowerBook.
All the PowerBook models you listed have SCSI.

And actually, I'm wrong, the PB 150 does have SCSI (it's ADB that it lacked... I knew it was missing something!). So actually, EVERY PowerBook released before 2000 has SCSI.

yeah. lombards had scsi, with the big tipoff being that its successor, the pismo, is also known as "powerbook (firewire)"

You are right. I was blinded by the thought of the internal hard disk, not any other buses on the system.
I prefer my crow medium-rare.

OK, so how old do I feel that it's been gone for so long that someone doesn't know what SCSI is?

It's only been gone for a few years. I think it's more the fact that many people didn't know what SCSI was even though they did have it.
