The are several SCA-to-N-SCSI adapters on the market, and some of these simply do not work properly. Also, my original post specifically referred to "converted" drives, wherein the seller had taken an SCA drive and had made a modification to it to change it to N-SCSI. This is not the same as taking an SCA drive and interposing a properly designed adapter between the drive's SCA connector and the Mac's 50-conductor ribbon cable. In specific case mentioned, the seller was upfront about the converted drive not being bootable. Other sellers may not be as forthcoming about the limitations of their converted products. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
