Peter, the Acard product, such as the 7720U let's one put a newer IDE device such as a new IDE hard drive into an older computer equipped with a SCSI interface. So, for example, one can put a 750GB PATA drive into an old SE/30 on the SE/30's SCSI bus. This would be the opposite situation. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
