Congrats on your new machine. I hope it works out for you. Just for your information scsi drives are an issue for many people using Panther and XPFacto on older machines. Ryan has yet to find the cause since not everyone has the issue. If your adapter doesn't work in OS 9.x then of course it's a different issue.
No, you don't need XPF to install X on the B&W - it's a supported machine. I don't know what's going on here.
I am having minor SCSI problems on my S900 also. My external drive does not appear when running 10.3, but of course works fine in 10.2.8.
7000 cards are disappearing from the market. I just checked at Newegg and all I could find was the Powercolor PCI 32 mb version for $45.00 the 64 mb card seem to be gone along with the Sapphire and ATI cards! Powercolor 7000 cards that can be flashed and used on a Mac are a new thing. Until recently they all used SDR RAM rather then the needed DDR RAM and couldn't be used in a Mac.
Hmmm, I'm looking at NewEgg right now, and they are showing both the 32 meg and 64 meg PowerColor Radeon PCI cards, both still with free shipping. Also, ATI Radeon 7000's are all over eBay, both 32 and 64 meg, and PC and Mac versions, so they are still easy to find.
Anyways, I'm having fun. It's nice to have a "supported' OS X machine!
