Hi Mike, If SCSI is already on board why get an adapter card? Will OS X work on a 7600? How about with a Processor upgrade? My 7600 is all SCSI and my G3 has a on board 50 pin scsi connection.
Yes. The 7600 needs X-PostFacto and a G3 or G4 upgrade to run 10.2 or 10.3. The native 604 processor will work up to 10.1, (but why would anyone WANT to run 10.1.???)
The onboard SCSI in both cases is SCSI-2, perfectly adequate for OS X.
Then it comes down to cost. If you search you can find up to 18 or 36 GB SCSI which will run with an adapter.
For the price you pay for that you can likely get a 80-120 GB ATA drive plus the ATA card needed for the 7600 (or the G3 so you can avoid the 8GB limit for OS X boot drives imposed by the onboard ATA controller) that will work *just as fast* in real-world use.
