Hi,
My teacher is giving me a Sonnet SCSI controller and I was wondering if a few Compaq 9.1GB Wide-Ultra SCSI drives would work with it in a B&W G3 PowerMac with a rev. 1 logic board. I'd like to use them to hold and run OS X with no IDE hard drive in the system. Is this workable?
Thanks in advance.

I have a B&W with a SCSI card in it (can't remember which though!) and it works fine. I can even boot from it.

This will work with no problems.
I only have SCSI drives in my B&W

Good to know that the drives will work because a friend is practically giving them to me.

I bought a job lot of Compaq SCSI drives a while back for peanuts. Problem is, all bar one of them had an SCA80 hot-swap connector. These are worth more than the drives. The one which did work was a Compaq 9.1GB, so you should be fine.
