Hello! I am new to the forum. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
Background:
I recently rescued a Blue & White 350 from an army of spiders and an exploding PRAM battery in the attic of a shed on my friend's property. It's cleaned up and beautiful...except that I snapped the zip drive bezel when trying to clean what looked like mold underneath. So, I am in the market for one of those, RAM sticks (OTC is out of stock), and an OTW SSD kit ($65? maybe after payday...)
Most importantly, I need to find a PCI SCSI card compatible with OS 9 to connect with various samplers with original SCSI.
THE QUESTIONS:
1. What SCSI cards are compatible with the G3 B&W running OS 9?
2. Are there such cards that have 2 SCSI ports? OR can you use some kind of splitter? I'd like to connect both my Akai s2000 and E-mu ESI 4000 at the same time, but they both have one original scsi port each, so must be on either ends of the chain. I've seen some dual cards with Ultra-wide, but I'd have to buy adapters which is pricey (on a budget).
I'd like the SCSI chain to look like this:
Emu ESI-4000-----Adtron PCMCIA Card Reader-----POWERMAC G3-----Panasonic LF-1600 PD Disk Drive-----Akai S2000
Please let me know if you have ideas/suggestions!
