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.

  • Looking For PCI ESATA Card For G5

    it will be running in both leopard and tiger
    can anyone recommend one and where to buy?
    i bought a rocstor 2ue drive and currently using it usb mode which is very slow.
    thank you

    since you don't say dual core G5 i assume you will need a PCI-X card (i'm pretty sure only dual core G5 use PCI-Express).
    the firmTek is a nice card and has the ability to boot from attached drives. it does have the disadvantage of only supporting SATA I i.e. 1.5Gbs and is on the expensive side (approaching $200), where as many of the cheaper cards (~$80-90) almost all use Silicon Image chipset support SATA II i.e. 3Gbps but don't have ability to boot from attached drives..
    so it kind of depends on your needs.. if you don't need to boot from the attached drives you can get a less expensive card, with faster SATA II capabilities for $80-90.
    just do a google search for pci-x esata card... owc is a good place to start as well.. i can confirm that multi-interface externals can be a bad choice as well... i got slower than USB 2 speeds from a Seagate Free agent triple interface drive and got transfer speeds faster than my internal drive by taking same drive out of the Seagate enclosure and putting it into an OWC esata only enclosure (dual drive enclosure for $67).. i have a norco, 4 port, pci-x estat card.

  • 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.

  • I'm looking for a PCI UMTS card for Portege M700

    First of all Hi everybody, as above mentioned in the title is about the Portege M700, I'm looking for a PCI UMTS card for this model have here a 8775 Sierra lying around, but this is unfortunately not recognized in Win7, I can times someone may say what card for this laptop is, or even something where I could get so ...???
    Thanks apologize in advance

    Hi
    You need a 3G broadband module?
    As far as I know some of the M700 Portege series have been equipped with the 3G module I think its from Novatel but Im not quit sure
    However, if you need an part for the Toshiba notebook which would be compatible for sure, then the best place for buying such part is your ASP.
    The guys could check what parts are compatible and could order it from Toshiba if this would be really necessary

  • 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?

  • Need PCI SCSI controller for Sparc

    I am perplexed at how difficult it is to get a Sparc-based PCI SCSI controller. I need help. If I search man section 7d of Solaris 9 I can find glm, isp, mpt, ncrs, and syshisl which appear to be drivers for PCI SCSI controllers on Sparc, but no idea of where to buy one (none of these are Adaptec, which I do know where to buy). If I search the Sun Store I can find part numbers for SCSI controllers but absolutely no description of them or which drivers they use. If I search the Sun documentation site I can find a few SCSI controllers mentioned but not referred to by the part numbers on the Sun store, so I still cannot get ordering info. When I search BigAdmin for driver support I find the pages dont tell me which architecture a driver is for. For example, I look up common Adaptec controllers and find drivers such as adp, cadp cadp160 but the web pages neglect to say they are for x86 only.
    This is what I need- PCI SCSI controller for SunBlade 100 and SunFire V120, Ultra 2 (LVD).

    "... the SSH is your friend..."
    "... the SSH is your friend..."
    "... the SSH is your friend..."
    Go online to the Sun System Handbook. It's your resource for hardware information.
    http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub
    You find the SB100 and the V120 in the list of EOL systems (both are discontinued models).
    http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/eolSystemList.html
    For each computer, you can review the "Full Components List" link,
    where there is a section that displays SCSI adapters,
    including their part numbers and their sales option numbers.
    You will be able to see that there was only one LVD card qualified
    to function properly in the V120. You will also be able to see
    that there weren't any LVD cards ever qualified in the SB100.
    I anticipate the x6758a card will work fine in both, .
    The SunBlade 100 desktop system is so old that it was already End-Of-Llife (EOL)
    before Sun started to ship the SCSI card. Thus there was no reason
    to go backwards and qualify the card to a disco'd platform.
    If you do decide to purchase and install that card, be sure to read its manual carefully.
    You will need to install separate driver software to the computers.
    The QUS drivers ship with newly purchased x6758a cards, or can be downloaded from Sun.
    ... not difficult at all.

  • Best 68 Pin SCSI Card for Mac OS 9 on 933 mHz Quicksilver G4?

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a SCSI card that will support 68 pin SCSI drives (15K Cheetahs) on a Mac G4 Quicksilver running Mac OS 9 ONLY (Not Classic. I only installed OS 9 from the retail disc and am NOT using Mac OS X). I have Adaptec 2940UW and Adaptec 2940U2W cards which work on my Blue and White G3 with SCSI drives. However those Adaptec cards do not work on the G4....at least you can't boot from a SCSI drive on them.
    I would like a card that may also work in OS X in case I change the purpose of the machine later as I have those original install discs. I have read of some folks using the ATTO UL4D with success in OS X, but wanted to know if anyone knows if it will work in OS 9.2.1 only or Classic. I called ATTO Tech and they weren't sure, and some old web pages I have read only mention OS X. Hence, I'm unsure if it's compatible with OS9. I would appreciate any feedback from SCSI users. Also, if there are other cards that you think would work with my setup, please advise.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Are there PCI thunderbolt cards for mac pro 3.1?

    are there PCI thunderbolt cards for mac pro 3.1?

    It's that last sentence I'm curious about.  "However a MacPro already has much more capability already built in than Thunderbolt can add."
    I'm thinking of getting a Mac Pro, but see that it doesn't seem to have Thunderbolt. I'm not sure if I care. The reason for the Mac Pro is that I'm topping out my 8gb RAM 27" iMac capacity with the volume of work going through it, and my tech tells me I'm pushing it too hard.  I use it to run a small law office, but usually have about 15 apps open, with lots going on in the network in the background.
    Is there any reason to wait until Apple puts Thunderbolt into the Mac Pro?
    Thunderbolt will not increase the performance capability of the MacPro. It will add a bus that can be convenient, especially later on when Thunderbolt devices become more common, more mature and better supported - oh, and with more common will come less costly. From a pure performance standpoint the existing PCIe slots are much more capable and cheaper to implement. You would be giving up nothing with a current MacPro.
    My opinion. Thunderbolt is really a great move forward in the long run - needed something to replace Firewire and this is it. But there is no reason to wait on Thunderbolt on MacPro - it is redundant.

  • What is the best e-Sata PCI RAID card for Mavericks.

    What is the best e-Sata PCI RAID card for Mavericks.  Bought a new MAC PRO with Mavericks and the older PCI 1095,3124 that I used on older MAC Pro does not work.  The MAC sees it, but the drivers never show up as being installed.  If I could find drivers that work or a recommended PCI card it would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    PM made sense - 6 yrs ago when disk drives were much slower. Today it is a bottleneck.
    SAS makes more sense. Outside of SSD, no disk drive maxes out by itself one PM interface (an SSD will) but it also means just two drives are enough to do so. So check out why to avoid PM:

  • Anybody using MOTU PCI 424e card for 2408 with new MacPro Cylinder?

    I upgraded my older Mac PRO tower which accepted multiple PCI 424e cards for the new Mac Pro cylinder.  I purchased from Magma their Express card cage with Thunderbold output in anticipation.  Computer arrived and I removed the card and inserted into the card cage,  directed audio to the card but no go.  iTunes, for example freezes when the card is selected.  My MOTU Digital Performer also does not allow Analog in or out with the card.
      I have contacted MOTU,  they do not have a solution.  Magma,  the card cage manufacturer has not come back with a solution.  Apple suggested visiting these forums for possible ideas.
      My studio is dead in the water until I solve this OR I need to go back to the slower old MacPro.
    Thanks in advance.

    Did you install the FCS suite onto the new computer by using the original disks?
    You should. Don't forget to run all updates, repair permissions and restart.
    Or did you migrate the applications from the older Mac? You should not do this.

  • Symbolic name for PCI-GPIB card

    I am using Agilent's ADS2002 to interact with an HP 8722D VNA via a PCI-GPIB card. I need a symbolic name for the card in order to write or read from the instrument; I've tried the suggested GPIB0 and GPIB1, as well as a few other guesses. Nothing on the card looks like a card number or symbolic name. How can I determine what the symbolic name should be? Thanks.

    Hello-
    Be sure that the GPIB board passes diagnostics. Also, try doing a Scan for Instruments in MAX. It may be that the board is not yet recognized.
    Also, consider using a programming language other than ADS. It may be easier for future upgrades to use a language like C or LabVIEW.

  • SCSI card for G5 tower?

    Does anyone know of a good, compatible, SCSI/PCI card for a G5 tower?
    We have some old scanners, tape drives, etc. that are al SCSI. They were connected to an old beige G3 that finally died. Now I can't access some of my back-up tapes, nor scan.
    I know Adaptec makes one, but none of the specs list OSX (or any Mac OS) as an operating system.
    I need a solution, and really know nothing about PCI cards. Any thoughts?

    "All G5s other than maybe Quad or PCI Express are "older."
    Working at a Quad right now, which is soon to be replaced. It's served me well for 4 or 5 years now, but CS5 is forcing me to go to a MacPro. Would have never gotten this much life/productivity out of a PC though.
    "If it is $3k piece of equipment, then a Mac compatible Adaptec 29160N or even try the Ratoc. Tape and SCSI scanners are where ATTO or Adpatec makes sense. Even UL4S model.
    I'll try the Ratoc first. Any experiance with them?
    Do you know if the ATTO UL4S or Adaptec 29160N can still be had new?
    "No, the Smurf's old card won't (why not say and list WHAT) because it isn't keyed for PCI-X slots."
    Because I'm not sure what the old G4 is. It's sitting on a shelf in the back warehouse - somewhere. LOL
    "My old hunting ground for SCSI was GraniteDigital and MacGurus."
    Thanks, I'll start searching there.

  • PCI-Express Card for SSD that boots Mac OSX?

    I'm thinking about upgrading my 2008 Mac Pro with an SSD boot drive, but I want to get the maximum speed out of the SSD. Since many of the SSDs have a SATA III interface capable of 6Gb/s, I'd also like to get an internal controller that will allow me to boot into Mac OSX. Which card do you reccommend?
    Also, is there anyway to place the SSD in the lower optical drive bay of the Mac Pro? If so, what will I need to do that?
    Thanks!

    The only way to get greater than effective speed on the sata2 connection is to raid the ssd's.  Otherwise you are stuck with sata2 speeds.
    Here's a thread on sata3 pci cards in these disccussions:
    PCIe card to enable bootable SATA3 SSD on early 2008 mac pro?
    If you want to do some research in other places there are many hits on this topic when you google "sata3 pci card for mac pro".
    Also, I just recently became aware of a new pci card that OWC announced which they call Accelsior™.  It's not cheap, even for a 120GB drive.
    OWC 120GB Mercury Accelsior™
    Here's MacPerformanceGuilds' review of it.
    Basically it's a ssd on a pci card thus limited to the pci speed and not the sata speed.  Looks cool.

  • PCIe Graphics cards for G5 - help please

    I have a PowerMac G5 (late 2005) model #M9592B/A
    I am looking for graphics compatible graphics cards that are identical.
    here are my requirements
    1) i need three to fit so must be 1 slot high
    2) must do s-video/composite out
    3) PCIe 4lane
    as cheap as possible around the £70-£100 mark
    can anyone suggest any certain models or know a place i can go to get them, i can't seem to find any anywhere and apple store don't have any to this "low" spec
    any help greatly appreciated
    best regards

    Hi-
    There are none that feature s-video/composite out that are single slot cards.
    The only card that is even close to your specs is the Geforce 6600.
    Check what is available for PCI express graphics G5's at We Love Macs.
    Some alternative thinking.

Maybe you are looking for
