Adaptec scsi card 29320A-R

In this neteware 6.5sp5 server, I have above card installed. Bios recognise
this card. But when I load adpu32.ham v.3.01.13 6 Aug 2004. system console
report a error: INVALID OPTION C04020AA 'SLOT' INVALID SLOT NUMBER.
I have another netware 6.5sp5 server using the identical adaptec scsi card.
it does not have problem to recognise this card in slot 1.
The startup file loads the same ADPU320.HAM. The startment in the
startup.ncf file read as follows:
ADPU320.HAM SLOT=1
The only difference between startup.ncf of these 2 servers is:
The one which recognise the card in slot 1 has a statement to load
nwtape.cdm and the one which does not recognise the card in slot 1 and
produce above error has no such statement to load nwtape.cdm
Any idea. What do I miss out?

the slot number might be influenced by a different bios configuration in
both servers. this could lead to another slot numbering.
please try to load the driver without as slot number, like:
LOAD <path>ADPU320.HAM
and it will ask for the slot number.

  • No Boot-Up with Adaptec SCSI Card

    Over the weekend I have built a new PC using an MSI  MS6758 875P NEO Motherboard with an MSI FX5600 TD256 Graphics Card.
    The CPU is an Intel 3.0 gig P4
    The system has 2Gb of 400DDR Memory, a Seagate SATA 150 160Gb Hard Drive and a Western Digital 20Gb ATA Hard Drive and an MRI Connexant Modem.
    The system also has a Sony 3.5 Floppy Drive, a Sony DVD Re-Writer and a TDK CD Re-Writer.
    The OS is Windows XP Professional.
    The system as configured above works fine, the problem starts when I attach my Adaptec AHA-2940U2W SCSI Card which has a Hewlett Packard HP C1533 DDS2 Tape Drive attached to it.
    When the card is attached the system goes through the Boot-Up procedure, it finds the Floppy Drive, the Hard Drives, the CD-Rom, and DVD Drive, it then finds the SCSI Card and the Tape Drive, then the SATA Controller and then the Boot-up hangs.  If I remove the SCSI Card it Boots up fine.
    I have altered the IRQ address on the SCSI Card but this made no difference. The default address for the Card is IRQ 7.
    I have configured IRQ 7 on the Motherboard BIOS to ISE/EISA and this made no difference either.
    I have tried the SCSI Card in each of the PCI Slots and still will not Boot.
    I have replaced the Card and Tape Drive back into the system it came out of and it works fine.
    Has anybody had this experience?

    The firmware update must be done from MS-DOS (bootable floppy). The firmware update & utility will fit on a bootable floppy. You probably will need to apply the update using a different PC (not MSI Neo2). After you are finished, you will see the Adaptec BIOS shows a date of 2000. Once complete, you can boot from the Adaptec SCSI card and there is no need to disable the SCSI BIOS. I have running (booted from) the machine I'm using to type this.

    Hi Val,
    Thank you for that, I will carry that out and let you know what happens.

  • Adaptec SCSI card

    I've had a back-up tape drive working (just fine) on a G4 400 running OS X 10.3.9 for a couple of years. I want to move this tape drive to a newer (old) computer, a G4 1.25 now running 10.4.11. I dug around and found the Adaptec driver I apparently installed to enable the SCSI card 2906 on the G4 400. On the newer computer with the newer OS, though, I'm getting kernel attacks.
    I searched the Adaptec site for a newer driver, and there are none. In fact, they indicate "the version 1.1 driver is embedded in Mac OS X 10.2 and later, there is no need to download and install this driver if you are running Mac OS X 10.2 or later."
    I guess my question is, does anyone know if this driver is still embedded in Mac OS 10.4? If so, do you know what it's called - where it's located, so I can make sure it's there. (I actually installed the driver I had from several years ago, so if it wasn't there, it should have been then, but I still had kernel attacks.) Any other ideas on this problem?
    Thanks.
    Ginny

    Thanks, all, for the suggestions. I'm totally flustered with this issue. Been working on it most of the day! According to what BDAqua found, I see that this card may not work with OS 10.4, but kind of hard to believe it wouldn't. (Hope that's just a post that was only current up through the 10.3 era.) The "Ask Adaptec" site Michael found does include 10.4.
    I did find that 1.3 driver, and it is designed for Classic - not OS X (as is the SCSI probe). Fact is, this computer also runs an old (but still good) scanner booted in Classic mode, and everything is working great from that side. (Only use the scanner 4-5 times a year - hate to buy a new one when it still works.)
    I do seem to have all the possible, appropriate extensions in OS X. In fact, I dumped all and reinstalled them through Pacifist. Still have the problem. This tape drive is accessed only through Retrospect, and I'm wondering if something in Retrospect is causing the problem instead of the SCSI connection, but I thought kernel panics were generally hardware related. When I access the drive in Retrospect (like to configure it), even if I don't "use" it, I get a kernel panic when I close Retrospect. If I try to restore a file, as it searches a tape, I get a kernel panic.
    I examined the kernel panic log. Obviously, it doesn't mean much, but the text on every crash ends with:
    com.apple.iokit.SCSITaskUserClienp
    or
    com.apple.iokit.SCSITaskUserClient(1.4.9) . . . and some numbers/letters.
    I also see "SCSI" in a couple of other places in the report, so I do believe it's a SCSI problem, but I'm baffled.
    I might reinstall Retrospect and see if it helps, but I'm not optimistic that it will. Guess I might also try installing 10.3 in a partition that already exists on the drive, boot in 10.3 and see if the SCSI connection starts working. (If it would, guess I'd have to reformat the drive, reinstall everything and stop with the 10.3 install.)
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks,
    Ginny

  • Adaptec SCSI Card Solution (worked for me anyway)

    I know there has been a lot work put into this issue, and even this solution mentioned once before but since it completely worked for me, i figured id post because its inevitable that someone else will ask it soon.
    Like everyone else, once upgrading to Tiger, my Adaptec 2930CU card (supposedly the biggest offender of them all) would kick in kernel panics almost every time I tried to write a DVD-5 DLT and would never get through a DVD-9.
    I took someones advice and deleted the extension for this card in my System/Library/Extensions folder. This completely eradicated the problem and it works as good the old days. I have another machine with a different Adaptec card, not sure which, did the same thing and that solved it.
    Hopefully this will be beneficial to somebody out there as im sure anyone who didn't spend a million dollars on a card a while back probably bought Adaptec

    Thanks for taking the time to come back and let us know - it is valuable to see when a fix has worked for someone.

  • PCI scsi card for ScanMaker 4

    Hi every one!
    I have G4 running Mac OX 10.4, I'm able to scan from the ScanMaker 4 in Mac OS 9 into PhotoShop or using the scanning software, however if I try to scan in OS X there is not communication between the computer and the scanner.
    I have installed a " PCI Adaptec SCSI" card ( which work fine in OS 9x), so far no luck in Microtek web site or Adaptec trying to down load a driver, a patch or something that allow me get my scanner to work in OS X.
    Any help on this will greatly appreciated!
    Regards!

    joem,
    I have had the same problem with an Epson SCSI scanner. Either there is no driver or it does not work. The solution is shareware "VueScan" which worked presto. You can download a free trial version before buying.

  • Will OSX support Adaptec PCI Express scsi cards in an early 2008 Mac Pro?

    I need to move my scsi interface scanner from a G4 machine and the old PCI Adaptec AHA 2930 CU card won't fit.  I was using Snow Leopard on the G4 unit - it still supported the Adaptec card and all was good.  My 23" Cinema display then bit the dust and I replaced it with with a 24" Cinema display with the mini display port connector.  I purchased an adapter from Kanex to make it compatible, but the adapter was defective - so I returned it.  Their reviews aren't very good - seem to have a lot of D.O.A. adapters - not sure I want to deal with the frustration, but it would be the least expensive option.
    I do have, however, an early 2008 Mac Pro that I can use, provided that it supports the newer PCI Express scsi cards that Adaptec makes.  I'm not sure which one to get yet, either.  I'd rather not buy one and find out it won't work.  I can make a partition on the boot drive for Snow Leopard in case scsi isn't supported in later versions of OSX.  In case you're wondering, I did use a scsi to firewire adapter to run the scanner on my laptop for a while - but it stopped working and I can't locate any replacements (or the company - 2nd Wave Technologies - for that matter).  I haven't tried locating a scsi to usb adapter, but from what I can see, they are getting pretty scarce.  I'd replace the scanner, but it is fairly pricey and the newest model retails at the price of a small car - so that really isn't an option at this point.
    Thanks in advance for any info.

    Changed name of display adapter manufacturer.

    Thanks for the response - I guess the question I should have asked is "Will OSX support scsi cards in an early 2008 Mac Pro and if so, which ones?"  I didn't realize Apple and Adaptec weren't working together - my G4 tower arrived with an Adaptec card in it when I bought it in 2000 (from a third party vendor, not directly from Apple).  It came with either OS 8.* or OS 9.  When I updated to OSX, everything continued working, so I didn't think much about it until I pondered using the Mac Pro for the scanner - at some point the G4 is going to stop working - need to have a solution before that happens.  The manuals I've been reading refer to the slots in the G4 machines as PCI.  The manual for the Mac Pro refers to the slots as PCI e.  These slots have fewer connectors, so I thought that the "Express" part of the name referred to this particular card configuration when compared to the longer card connectors in the G4 type of machines.
    Can you tell me what scsi card brands will work in the Mac Pro?  I'd still like to pursue this option.  As I mentioned in my original post, buying a new scanner isn't in the cards right now - it costs more than the computer, so, although pricey, the card option is still less expensive.
    Thanks!

  • Solaris 10 x86 -Scsi Adaptec 29320ALP Card issue

    Hi
    I am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 edition . I am facing an issue with the scsi card adaptec 29320. Not detecting the disk at the time of installation. I checked the card in HCL. It is available. Any way to install.

    I'm not sure what the root cause for the firewire driver hang is.
    Maybe an issue with interrupt routing. You may want to experiment
    with BIOS ACPI / IOAPIC / PnP OS settings, and/or the
    acpi-user-options property.
    Anyway, to get rid of the firewire driver, you can probably add an
    "exclude: hci1394" line to /etc/system and reboot.

  • How can I re-install my old SCSI card (2906)?

    I think I should have asked for guidance here first but...
    I'm trying to re-install my old SCSI card in my G4 (Dual 1 GHz - 1.5 GB Ram, 10.5.8), it worked fine a few years ago (under previous OS) but I can't seem to get it running now. The Profiler sees the card (Adaptec 2906) but says there is no driver. So I downloaded a driver from the Adaptec site (2930 - they say its the same as the 2906 driver), installed it, connected an old ZIP drive as a test - and yes I set the auto termination. Restarted and got a Kernel panic! - retried and got another panic!
    Un-installed the driver, cleaned the cashes and reset permissions with Onyx, so I appear to be back to a stable system.
    Anyone have any experience with SCSI cards? I would greatly appreciate any/all suggestions. I do have some experience with computers [Apple II+, SE30, IIFX, 8500 PowerMac, but this old head just can't get this figured out.
    Thanks in advance!

    I thought I'd post this as an update and general information for others who might have a similar problem.
    I have my old original Scsi card installed (Adaptec 2906), and it does work under 10.4.11 (my alternate/back-up system). I installed just "Adaptec78XXSCSI.kext" in the system/library/extensions folder and as long as I start my scanner before I boot into 10.4 everything seems to work just fine.
    It's a bit of a pain to have to switch systems whenever I need to scan something, but I can live with it.
    I tried to install the drivers in 10.5.8 but that doesn't work at all. If I install the whole Adaptec2930 package, I get a Kernel panic almost immediately. If I install just the "Adaptec78XXSCSI.kext", the card is not recognized. From what I've read on various sites is that 10.4 is the last OS that supports SCSI cards (or at least this Adaptec card). If someone has better/more information, I would appreciate hearing from them.
    I contacted Adaptec tech support, but I have not as yet received a reply
    In the end, things have worked out reasonably well. I have the use of my old reliable Agfa Scanner (Vuescan is great!), and my old Powermac 8500 is still functional enough for me to recover all my ancient tape archives.
    An interesting little twist: Part of my incentive to re-install the old SCSI card was to recover my tape archives via Retrospect. But I discovered while searching for the drivers that Retrospect no longer supports the Adaptec cards, and hasn't for some time, so I could not have used it on my G4 anyway!
    Now I'm saving my pennies for a new 27" iMac

  • OS 10.4.9 and SCSI card

    Recently I installed OS 10.4 and prior to installation had to remove the SCSI card (wouldn't boot up off of disk with card in place). After removing the card installation was no problem. I tried a USB card but "Sleep" no longer works. Now that I have the system installed, do you think there will still be a conflict if I reinstall the SCSI card (use it for ZIP drive back up)either in operation or possible problems with update installations?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Glen

    Allan,
    The SCSI card is Adaptec, AVA 2906(I think this is the model #). It was installed when I bought my computer years ago. I don't have any more info on it, other than what I find on the card. When I had problems with installation, I looked here in discussions and found some peripheral info on others with trouble having SCSI cards installed, that is how I decided to try removing it before installation. I thought the USB card would be the answer but as mentioned, trouble with that also.
    Thanks,
    Glen

  • SCSI card for a G5 or processor upgrade for a G4?

    Hi all
    Actually, this is a question that concerns the G5 and the G4 forum, but I decided to post it here first.
    So, I have this old G4/400 PCI with an Adaptec 2930 SCSI card that I use for scanning slides with an Artix 4000t sclide scanner; this works fine, but the G4 is rather slow when it comes to using some features of the scanning software, such as removing scratches.
    I've been thinking about buying a SCSI card for my G5 (Dual 1.8) for some time now, but I'm not sure what card I should go for; I'm not even sure if there are still cards for such an "old" device as the slide scanner (about 3 to 4 years old, no Ultrawide or something like that). And then there's the problem of the drivers for the card - how long will they be available, especially now that Apple is switching to Intel...?
    The other possibility would be to buy a processor upgrade for the G4. I've seen some at OWC, and they seem to be less expensive than a SCSI card. The drawback of this solution is of course that I'll have to keep the G4 standing on my desk... on the other hand, I do know that the scanner will work perfectly with the G4.
    The G5, on the other hand... it will be faster and easier, since I won't have to transfer the files for storage and editing, I could free some space on my desk,... but will it work? The G5 is running 10.4, I'm not sure if my current scanner driver is compatible... and what when 10.5 comes out...?
    So I'm looking for a second, third, fourth... opinion:
    What would you do? Get a SCSI card for the G5 or a processor upgrade for the G4? What SCSI card would you recommend?
    TIA,
    Tina

    I've done some research on G5 and SCSI and scanners, and obviously, what I remembered was correct... making it work seems at least tricky, and maybe expensive too (if you've got to buy new scanning software and and..).
    So I guess that's decided: No SCSI on the G5. Leaves the question, should I buy a processor upgrade card for the G4? Getting some dual G4 on eBay might be an option, but then, that would be another computer in my already crammed office, and I just can't throw the G4 away, it's one of the very first models...
    I came by the idea of a processor upgrade because I just played around with an old Mac SE, which has an 68030 accelerator card installed, and this seems to work fine. Anyone has any experience with G3 /G4 upgrades (good or bad)?
    Smokerz: Why would you not recommend an upgrade? Any bad experiences?

  • B/W G3 SCSI card problem

    Hi all,
    I have a rev. 1 B&W G3. Its 400 mhz and has 1gb of RAM and the stock ATI Rage. This machine came from the factory with an Ultra SCSI II card and a 9 GB SCSI II HD. About a year or so ago the HD died and I tryed to replace it with a cheap IDE Hard Drive, but then found out the hard way that i had the rev. 1 motherboard. So the machine has since been sitting on the floor looking cool with its translucent white/ blue casing, but not running. I've been using my beige 266 for a while now, but I want to get that B&W running again, as it is faster/more expandable/cooler looking. I have come across an orange micro grappler 2 906f SCSI card. It is for old style SCSI devices but it will run them fast. It says it is system bootable and recomended for the B&W G3. I installed 3 GB & 4 GB quantum SCSI drives onto the card. I installed 9.2 on the 3 GB and all booted up nicely. I attempted to install 10.3 but when I booted off the CD it said there were no hard drives there, even in disk utility all that comes up in the side panel is the CD. I then booted off the IDE drive I had got a while back witch has 10.3.9 on it (suffers data corruption) and it did not see the drives either. I opened system profiler and it said there were no drives under SCSI and no card installed in the PCI slot when there was. I booted off of 10.0, 10.2, and 10.3 retail CD's and none of them saw the drives. I dont understand this as everything works perfectly under OS 9.2, even when booting off the OS 9 CD.
    Can anyone help me out here?
    Thanks,
    Allen

    Here is a link to the firmware update for that card. The article was originally written when 8.6 was the latest OS available -- you CAN run the firmware update running from a writeable OS 9 (perhaps not from an OS 9 CD), but not under Mac OS X.
    60409- Ultra SCSI Card 1.2 Firmware Update: Document and Software
    The 68-pin cable that shipped with the Apple/Adaptec card should have a discrete terminator captured at the end of the cable. It is non-trivially large, and cannot hide inside a regular connector.
    An adapter such as this one will adapt a 50-pin drive to your 68-pin cable:

  • G-4 tower, PPC,10.4.11 PCI SCSI card install

    G-4 tower, PPC,10.4.11 and Classic 9.2. I have been trying to install a new Adptec SCSI card. From what I understand, this card should work??
    I keep getting the "grey vail". The fix is to remove the PCI card.I have tried USB and network PCI cards. Both create NO problems. Is there a good reason I cannot install the SCSI PCI card??

    These look pretty old to me...

  • Looking for PCI SCSI card for G5

    I've just learned my old SCSI PCI card (5 volt) from my G4 won't work in the G5 (3.3 volt PCI slot).
    I'm looking for a 50-pin SCSI PCI card, 3.3v, that will work in a G5 & with OSX ... any suggestions? Thanks.

    I'm interested to know if this is the plain old Adaptec 29160N or the Adaptec PowerDomain 29160N. I made a similar upgrade 4 years ago and I had an identical problem. I never got my old scanner to work. The ratoc SCSI--Firewire bridge didn't support multiprocessors, and the Adaptec PowerDomain card was prohibitively expensive. Due to the lack of updated drivers for the scanner, VueScan was necessary in either case, if remember properly.

  • Reliable SCSI card for G4 tower (Quicksilver or other G4 tower) with OS 9 ?

    Good morning.
    I am trying to setup a G4 Quicksilver (or another slower G4 tower) under OS 9 to be able to use a very nice Epson wide format scanner (no OS X drivers available). It has only a SCSI Centronics 50 pin connector.
    1. Is there a reliable and available (with OS 9 drivers) SCSI PCI card that will work in a variety of G4 towers under OS 9?
    2. If the card doesn't have the 50 pin Centronics connector, how do I adapt the scanner to the card input?
    Thanks for your time.

    When SCSI was built in to Macs, it was what we now call "narrow" SCSI. Apple used the DB-25, a 25-pin connector that looked like an RS-232 connector (because it was the same connector). To use it with typical 50-pin Centronics devices, a cable called a Macintosh System Cable was used. The Macintosh System cable swapped the signals around and connected the few grounds in the 25-pin connector to the many grounds in the 50-pin connector. Almost all devices came with two Centronics-50 connectors. Connecting multiple devices together was accomplished with a Centronics-50-to-Centronics-50 cable, and the last connector on the last device was filed with a Terminator.
    Most of the add-on cards available later were "fast", "wide", "fast and wide" SCSI, optimized and tuned up to run faster than the built-in's maximum 5 Mega Bytes/sec. They used more complex cables and had more rules for proper operation. Your scanner alone cannot generate data fast enough to fill up the original "narrow" SCSI. So you need none of the later stuff.
    Faced with no SCSI port on the new Blue & White G3 (the first Mac without a SCSI port since the original Macs), many users at that time installed the Adaptec 2930 card in a PCI slot to run their scanners or occasional other SCSI devices. The card is capable of Fast-20 speeds if your device supports it, and works with G3s and G4s with PCI slots. The card has an external 50-pin connector called HP-DB50, which has nothing to do with Hewlett Packard, it means Half-Pitch (the pins are twice as close together as on the DB-25 connector). HP-DB50-to-Centronics-50 cables are readily available. Support for the Adaptec 2930 is still available built into Mac OS X.
    If you go with the Adaptec 2930 card, it will run your scanner, not require any adapters -- just one cable converts to the connector you need, and if you can get an "active" 50-pin Centronics terminator with an LED, your life should be easy.
    There are tons more solutions available. Each comes with a little more added complexity and more potential features if you want to do additional things with it.

  • Installing SCSI card

    Hi,
    I've recently purchased an Adaptec 2906 SCSI card for use in a G4 running OS X 10.1. My knowledge of SCSI is not the greatest so I have a few problems I hope someone could help me with.
    I have installed the card as per the Adaptec instructions, however I am unsure as to whether I need to use an internal scsi cable to connect the SCSI card to another part of the computer. The Adaptec instructions mention an internal 50 pin SCSI cable, but I am unsure of whether this is only used when connecting up internal SCSI devices (CD drives/Optical Drives etc). At the moment, the only other PCI slot used in the G4 is a card for a monitor.
    When I enter Apple System Profiler it is aware that there is a card in the PCI slot, but it does not name it as Adaptec (at the moment it simply says "name: not available"). Also, when I connect a device to the SCSI card - ASP does recognise it is connected (I have attached both a Sony Optical Drive and Apple CD Drive). However, when I place some media in these drives they do not mount in OS X, and disk utility does not show either drive.
    As I said, I haven't the greatest understanding of SCSI, so I may be making a stupid mistake somewhere along the line.
    As a bit of background, I need to get some information off of a batch of Magneto Optical disks, and all the drives I have are SCSI, therefore I need to get this SCSI card up and running if possible
    Thanks

      Mac OS X (10.1.x)  

    Hi Jack-
    Sorry to hear the saga continues. I have just started rechecking the Adaptec help site, and the following is the response to a "not reported" (my search), or "device name not available" (Adaptec's phrasing):
    Q: SCSI Disk Utilities in SCSI Select or BIOS scan reports 'device name not available' for all devices.
    This information applies to the following product(s):
    - 2902, 2906 series, 2910 series, 2920 series, 2930 series, 2940 series, 3940 series, 2940U2W series, 2930U2 series, 3950U2 series - PCI SCSI Card(s)
    This information applies to the following Operating System(s):
    - All / PC
    A: The SCSI Host Adapter is not in a bus mastering PCI slot.
    Move the SCSI Host Adapter to a different PCI slot.
    The SCSI Host Adapter has an IRQ conflict with another device in the system. The resources for the PCI SCSI Host Adapter are assigned by the motherboards CMOS setup. Double check with your computer manufacturer or motherboard manual for setting up resources for PCI slots.
    So, though I will continue the search, I need some more information from you.
    What, precisely, is your model and cpu?
    What other PCI devices do you have installed (if any)?
    Also, in spite of the fact that the card is not reporting (though detected), as far as testing function goes, please attempt connection of one of your SCSI devices. Please read the following:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58245
    Make note of the ID configuration.
    Be sure to properly terminate your device.
    Connect only with system "off". (SCSI device power off as well).
