Adaptec ATA-2940UW
Hello,
I am recent convert from a PC based system to a new Dual G4 533 with 256 RAM, etc. Anyway, I have the Adaptec ATA-2940UW SCSI adapter card that I would like to use in order to install my Ultra Wide SCSI drives. I have been looking around to see if this would be ok to put in the Mac...but I cannot seem to get a definitive answer. Has anyone has any experience with this or any suggestions? Thanks for your time, Michael

Hi Michael,
I've been using a adaptec 2940UW for two years now on a apple 9600-300... Works fine ! Don't know about this ATA spelled before it... Just try it, i think (!) if it's a PCI-card it will run. Look in the compatibility-menu above then you'll know for shure. It's up there in this very same page you are staring at [This message has been edited by Mano (edited June 05, 2001).] |

Re: Adaptec ATA-2940UW
I'm running OS9.1 466sp (latest model) with Paris and PT 4.3.1 and the 2940UW with no problems. In fact the only thing thats crashed since I installed everything is the startup disk control panel an I'm sure that's due to a jumper setting on one of my old SCSI externals.

Re: Adaptec ATA-2940UW
A while back I was looking at buying a used 2940 UW, and found out that Adaptec did make two models-the one that works in a Mac is called Power Domain. I don't think that the PC version will work in a Mac. I bought an Orange Micro card for cheap, and it works fine.
