SCSI card for Mac 10.4 PCI slot & Retrospect compatible

Aug 8, 2007 9:07AM PDT

Does anyone know of a SCSI card that will work in the MAC 10.4 arena and that will also work with Retrospect as well. Card must be PCI slot only - cannot fit a PCI-E card in my machine.

I cannot seem to find any that work for MAC and that have 10.4 drivers. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

cards are a little thing on the ground now that Firewire if common on all Macs.
I guess you have a particular reason for wanting to go SCSI, got a tape drive that is SCSI perhaps.

Adaptec used to make the SCSI card of choice for the Mac.

Adaptec SCSI card 2930 AHA-2930 MAC APPLE 2930CU apparently work with OS X built-in support

Check out the Adaptec website or Google for info

First off, thank you for the response.

Yes we are looking for a SCSI controller card for the MAC because we have an old SCSI tape drive we want to use by taking the backups from Retrospect and putting them there. You are correct with that assumption.

I looked at the card you recommended and it's support is only up to 10.3 on the MAC. We need a card that has support for 10.4. The only other card i have come across is a card from Atto which is a PCI-E card and our motherboard cannot support it.

If you have any other suggestions...please feel free to let me know.

Thanks again!
