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...

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.

Dell optiplex 755 won't boot with NI PCI Fieldbus card installed

After installing NI Configurator 3.1.0 on new Dell optiplex 755 and then installing the NI PCI Fieldbus card the pc won't boot up.
This card works fine 745 and older dell pc's.
Anybody else having this problem?

Hi,
In which step does the boot process fail? Is there any error message?
After installing NI-FBUS 3.1, please go to Windows Device Manager, check whether the driver of PCI-FBUS is correctly installed. There should be no any error in Device Manager.
You can try the following methods.
1. Change to another PCI slot.
2. Use Windows XP. NI-FBUS 3.1 does not support Windows Vista.
3. If there exist other PCI devices in the system, remove them and try using PCI-FBUS only.
4. Update the drivers of Dell Optiplex 755 if there are new versions, including video card, ethernet card, etc.

Computer won't boot with PCI-GPIB card installed

I'm running a windows XP system with Labview 7.1 installed. I have installed the GPIB drivers, but when I insert my PCI-GPIB card, the computer will not boot(it freezes before the POST). I'm running a Shuttle "MK40VN" KM400 Chipset Motherboard.

Well, nevermind, I just verified that the card is in fact fried.

Frequents bsod after pci vid card installed

hey all,
ive explained this 20 times on 20 different tech forums and no one could help, hope you msi junkies can
heres the deal.
system specs
amd duron 1.1
MS-6378 mobo with onboard sound and vid
XP Home SP1 and XP Pro (no sp)
the mobo in my wifes pc has no agp slots, and has 4 or 8 megs of onboard video. she constantly comandeers my pc while im working to get in a game or two, so i finnaly decided to pick her up a pci video card the other night.
got it at walmart, 30 bucks for a gforce2 mx200 w/32 PCI
installed it and it ran fine, she was happy, and i was happy lol, now this error started only with divx and now happens more frequently. after playing a divx movie for any length of time, it has happened after 2 minutes, and after 30 , i get an irq_not_less_or_equal_to bsod from win32k.sys. at first this was only with divx movies, but now it happens randomly, just happened 5 minutes ago when i was writing this thread hehe , i updated the bios, and took a look inside...im assuming this could be due to the onboard video maybe, but there are no settings to flat out disable it. i disabled video bios shadowing, set the agp arpeture(? SP) to 4mb(min) told the bios not to reserve an irq for video, disabled the onboard video driver through the windows. i wish i could just uninstall the driver for it, but whenever i do windows thinks its great to reinstall it to make my life easier :p
any help would be appriticated, im just going to lurk around the forums all day
thanks alot, and any help i would be greatful for this is driving me bannanas

HP p7-1174 locks on startup with PCIe parallel card installed (SYBA SD-PEX1005)

Hello, I just purchased a PCIe parallel card from SYBA for my HP p7-1174 (AMD A8, 8GB, W7 64bit) and upon installing it locks up after the HP blue screen (it locks on a black screen with a DOS cursor blinking). Tried different ports, same result. I installed the card on another computer (HP p6774y, AMD Phenom II, 6GB, W7 64bit) and it works flawlessly. Does anybody know of any configuration prior to installation of the card that I would have to do? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Follow up: The Rosewill RC-302e works flawlessly.

G4 and PCI-SCSI card

I recently bought a second hand PowerMac G4 with an adaptec 2903B scsi PCI card in it. I reinstalled it with OS10.3.9. I have not been able to detect any SCSI devices yet. Am I missing a driver ? No drivers for the 2903B on the Adaptec website... I'm using it with OSX, but would like to use it also in OS9 with the MESA software for my AKAI S2000 sampler.

Adaptec or who ever made the RAID software would have the driver for OS 9. I don't have Classic/OS9 installed on my computer. I don't rember whether all drivers appear in the extensions folder.
I'll check with Adaptec, myself, and let you know.
Are you sure the card is a 2903 and not a 2930?

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.

Pci scsi card

can i put in a scsdi card in a hp touchsmart 520pc

Hi,
What is the model of your 520 ? The following link shows one of them:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03023117
It does not have spare PCI/PCIe slot therefore you can't put PCI/PCIe card on it.
Regards.

How do I get my NX6600GT-TD128E (PCIE) video card installed on a K8N NEO4-F Mb ?

I have received two new NX6600GT-TD128E (MS-8983) vdeo cards to install on my new K8N NEO4-F (MS-7125) motherboard flashed with BIOS ver 1.B.
First video card turned out to be bad. The replacement card allows view of bios screens and post screen, but when Windows XP (pro) starts up, the video goes blank and Windows XP locks up dead.
Any suggestions as to what I need to do to get the video card up and running?

Labview doesn't recoginze the PCI-6023E card

Hi there,
I have labview 7 installed in a windows 7 32 bit system. I just have a PCI-6023E card installed and the windows device manager said that device is ready to use. I am trying to install the driver on the CD but NI just fail to recognize that card

Hi dragondriver,
AG@Amfax is right, this LabVIEW version is not supported in Windows 7. The oldest supported version is LabVIEW 2009 SP1. Please take a look to this compatibility chart.
Once you have a compatible LabVIEW installed in the OS, you'll need a compatible driver version. Please refer to this link.
Best,
Carmen C.

Please help! (factory installed) SBlaster 64V PCI isn't instal

I hope someone can help me. I bought my computer in 2000. (Dell) My Audio was already installed.

don't have any Audio Driver installed? Can someone please tell me what happened? If it isn't even

Thanks,
Dana

Another PCI video card issue

Hello,
I bought my daughter this Lenovo 3000 h210 from Tigerdirect.com
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4167690&CatId=2630
She has an nVidia gForce 8450 PCI card she wants to put in the 1 vacant PCI slot. When she does that, the machine will not even boot up. If she takes the card back out, it boots up fine.
The PCI card does not require a seperate power connection, and she replaced the OEM power supply with a 550w one.
I keep reading about possibly having to go into the BIOS and disable the onboard video. I don't have direct access to that computer since she lives in another state, but she is telling me that there are only 2 choices, PCI-PEG and PEG-PCI. She says she had tried both settings and it still will not boot with the PCI graphics card installed.
Any idea how to fix this?

I was unable to find an answer, but was able to get the machine up and running. They took the PCI card back and swapped it for a PCI Express card. They plugged that one in and it worked immediately. So, I am guessing that this particular machine will not work with a PCI video card.
I hope this helps someone.

PCI SCSI Doesn't work with GF4 4400

I swapped my old Herc GF2 out for the new MSI GF4 TI4400 card and found out that my PCI SCSI card doesn't work with it in. Swapped back in the GF2 and it works fine, and also works in a diff PC.
Flashed BIOS of my Abit KG7-RAID, no change...
?!

someone suggested this may have to do with a BIOS limitation about how much ROM space can be used for initialization routines such as video BIOS, mobo BIOS, and any other I/O cards such as the SCSI... Apparently most SCSI cards use 64K or so of memory at init and shrink back to like 16K or so....
Going to play with moving the cards around to change the order of initialization and we'll see if any change occurs...

Trouble NetBooting Xserve G5 with PCI RAID Card

Has anyone else had problems NetBooting Xserve G5 with the PCI RAID card installed?
I've got a Dual 2.0 GHz and Dual 2.3 GHz Xserve G5 that both can't seem to NetBoot consistently. On the very odd occasion they do netboot but not very oftern. When you set the NetBoot volume from the Startup Disk system preference and reboot, they just fail to boot and eventually their fans go crazy.
I have other Xserve G5s that NetBoot just fine. I've tried different network cables and swapping switch ports with Xserves that work, but it hasn't helped.
Could it be something on the NetBoot server?
Looking at the system log on the NetBoot server you can see the "bootpd" request from the booting server. I don't have a graphics card install in the Xserves being NetBooted so don't know what's being displayed on the server's console.
The NetBoot server is an Intel-based Xserve (Late 2006) running 10.4.11.

that seems to be the next step here: find or purchase a new card to test the existing drives.
i had wondered if these cards aren't compatible with the 750 gb drives. does anyone know?
also, would a bad battery cause such craziness? does the battery keep read/write cache data on the 64mb on-card memory for just this purpose? i haven't found much documentation on the apple branded cards.
thanks for your help.
