<< They are actually called SCSIDE bridges, but I'm picky ;). >> I'm picky, too ;-) . The name on mine is "Bridge Smart". Nowhere on the package or in the instruction manual are the terms "SCSIDE" or "SCSIDE bridge" used. The terms "SCSI-to-IDE Bridge" (note upper case B) and "SCSI-to-IDE bridge" (note lower case B) are used numerous times, however. >> ...

The PC and Mac versions are identical except for the label in the EEPROM (and, obviously, its contents). My SCSI-to-IDE Bridge was instantly recognized by Drive Setup, and I have used it on a wide variety of Macs, both 68K and PPC. Presently, one resides in a WGS 9150 (50-pin version), and another resides in an Apple Network Server 700/200 (68-pin version). Peter. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
