You won't need the RADEON card as g5's have dual monitors on one card, you may be ok with the connections you have but adapters from ADC to DVI are no problem. The adaptec, I'm not sure, I think not, hold on...Oh, bad news...quote Thank you for visiting Adaptec’s Mac OS compliance page. Adaptec is no longer developing SCSI drivers for the Mac OS. Technical support is available for those products still in their complimentary support period; however, there will be no new SCSI drivers, firmware, or patches available. -------------------- Simon Flinn Install & Support Eng, Maintenance, Analog & Digi Electronics Dist/Dlr background, Fast & Friendly, London & SE Based. freelance studio support click here

You must send your card to them, they send other to you than you can put in slot of the G5, and you must pay 400 Euros! Of fifteen days to a month without working and you must pay by his ineptitude in the design of his card. To me they considered it and what I did it was to sell the 2408 mk2 and to buy a Fireface 800. I have gained four previous of great quality, and better sound.

Newbie Groupe : Members Messages : 16 Inscrit : 29 sept. 03 Lieu : New York - US Membre n^o 25,732	thank you everyone for the info. hey ourmanflinty, thank you for the Adaptec info however, does this mean that all G5 users are not using any external scsi hard drive connections. I simply cant work without my main external glyph rack/drives connected via scsi. how can i continue using these drives on the G5 ? is there some sort of convertor or a solution? its hard to believe that all those out there who made the swithch to g5 also abandoned there SCSI rig. -------------------- hani num sound,nyc

Still searching my f…g serial number to be able to have a working pci card with 2 chips on… -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home BOING BUMM TSCHAK PENG!
