Title: looking for adaptec 29160 driver
Post by: yungjoon on September 08, 2025, 11:08:31 PM

Hi,

I try to install this card in my G4 MDD (dual boot Mac OS 9.2 /10.5.8).

I plugged the card in a PCI slot and I started with this:

https://www.macintoshrepository.org/33044-adaptec-powerdomain-29160

For mac os x there is a driver, the 29160 works well under mac os 10.5.8. The scsi drive attached can be used.

For mac os 9 there is only scsi probe. When I boot under mac os 9, the card is not recognized. I checked the extension manager and saw nothing related to a 29160 scsi device. When I run scsi probe nothing is listed.

If someone has the driver for the 29160, I would very interested.

Thanks!

Might actually be the same file. ::)

Did you do the firmware update under OS 9?

About the firmware update, how can I do that if the card is not recognized under os9? Would it be usable under OSX aftet update?
