FYI: The AEC-671160M Ultra 160 works without any additional
driver installation with Tiger. But I've only tested with
an external streamer, not with harddisks.

2. SCSI scanner, FW-to-SCSI adapter, iBook G4???

I have an old Olympus ES-10 SCSI film scanner that served me well with a
SCSI-equipped Mac running OS 9 and Photoshop 4.

My current Mac is an iBook G4 that runs OS X 10.4 and will not boot into OS 9.

Do I have any hope of using this scanner through a FireWire SCSI adapter while
in Classic mode?

4. Sider controller card - SASI or SCSI?

Hi, y'all!

   It's my understanding that the Sider card is a SASI card.  But
there's now one on eBay and someone e-mailed the seller that it's a
SCSI card.  Which is it?

Has anyone ever tried using a SCSI drive on one of these controllers?  Are
the disks necessary to set up the drive?

8. SIIG PCI ATA disk controller shows up as SCSI

I wanted to install a 200GB Seagate Ultra drive into a G4 450. This mac 
will not allow >130GB without a new disk controller. I installed a SIIG 
Ultra PCI based disk controller. It works & boots okay. But shows up as 
a SCSI device. Is this normal? Do all PCI add on disk controllers show 
as SCSI? Or just this SIIG company?

Curiously, under Apple System Profiler, under ATA only the drives on the 
motherboard controller show up.

Under PCI/AGP Cards an entry for a SCSI device shows (I had no SCSI 
devices prior to this).

Under SCSI, there was a new entry showing my two newly installed drives 
(both ATA IDE drives, one a newer Ultra and the other an older IDE) as 
both SCSI drives!

Curiously, their manual says it should show under ATA devices. No 
mention of it showing as SCSI.

Seems to be working okay and boots the system fine from a ATA/IDE drive 
installed under this SIIG card.
=================
Details belowL:

I bought & installed:

SIIG Ultra ATA/133 PCI  5year warranty IDE controller @ $74.99
Seagate 200GB Barracuda 7200 8MB cache SEA ST3200822A 

and installed in a G4 450 running 10.3.4

Drive came with a Ultra cable. Seagate was an Ultra drive. While at it  
I installed an older WD 10GB drive (non Ultra) I had unused laying 
around on same Ultra cable Seagate as master WD as slave. This resulted 
in slow performance with both on same Ultra cable so switched to Seagate 
on Ultra cable on one bus and older WD drive on another older cable on 
the other IDE bus of SIIG card. That worked with both as Master. There 
are now 4 IDE drives in this G4 now.

Drives & card are working and boots mac with OSX on Seagate drive under 
SIIG card running OSX 10.3.4.
