Default migration from 9600 to G4

i have the opportunity to score a new generation G4 867 at a great price.

after reading up on the compatabilityy pages it would seem that this move is a bit too hasty.

i have a number of questions:

1. does anyone actually use a PT TDM system on a new generation G4 without issues?

1A. does anyone use a PT TDM system on a new generation G4 WITH issues?

2. looking into the HBA SCSI controllers i found that my adaptec 2940UW is not compatible with new G4 systems.

only recommended card i see is the ATTO card. this is the new scheme of hard drives. i have three Seagate Cheetas. they are 50 pin and 10,000 RPM. i have no real wish to replace them.

will the ATTO card support them (i suspect no) so what other cards do folks use successfully on a G4?

3. apart from that, there seems to only be the question of OMS compatability and what floppy disk drive to buy?

any insight or assistance would mean a lot to me.

thanks.
