can anyone confirm if
« on: June 18, 2018, 03:51:25 AM »
I was looking into possibly getting a SCSI card for this system and this seemed promising, but the seller couldn't verify this would work under OS9

I'm not sure about OS9 drivers.  At that time was plug and play a thing for SCSI or would I need to find some specific or generic SCSI card drivers? 

I bought one awhile back that never worked for my mac, but it was fine in an XP PC desktop.  So I'm just trying to not go in blind on this. 

Adaptec AVA-2906 ASSY 1778406-00 50-pin PCI SCSI Controller Card PowerMac G4

Thanks!

Adaptec lists these drivers in .hqx format for the AVA-2906, so if it is a genuine Mac card it should work under OS9.

ok that's awesome!  sounds legit.  i think the guy is on the level.  The ad is pretty specific that it was for a powermac. 

Thanks,

Ok so I got said SCSI card and while I see the link for some drivers posted below.  Is that just enhancement stuff?  Should my G4 Sawtooth OS9 system have built in scsi drivers for it or are the drivers needed.
