Storage / Re: SCSI CN50 - Options to Backup Old HDDs
« Last post by goodoldmacs on May 18, 2024, 09:57:54 AM »thanks for the replies, i could still use some help though
please i would appreciate an answer to this specifically:
what pci card i can find to purchase that is compatible with my G4 MDD and will definitely work on OS 9 (and that have a good chance of working with OS 8.6 using the openfirmware trick)?
cards that will only work on OS 10 wont help, i wont be using that system.
i can find a couple that say they'll work with OS 9 but i definitely want to try the 8.6 openfirmware trick and i really want a scsi that will work in both
thanks very much
edit: just remembered another important thing to ask
all the different scsi plugs just get so crazy like:
68k mac has db25
all the devices connected to it use cn50
macsd uses idc50
and all the pci cards for the g4 use hd50
so i still need all kinds of adapters and one set that would be really useful but i can't find would be a CN50 to IDC50 (that way i could put the DB25-to-CN50 adapter on the back of the 68k, then the CN50 device, then an adapter to the MacSD with its builtin scsi termination as the last device in the chain)
so has anyone ever seen a CN50 to IDC50 adapter?
