> Apple Workgroup Server 9150 or Apple Workgroup Server 95. The WGS 95 was an interesting system, but too many of these are missing their DMA cards and/or their "five drive trays". In the very same case was the WGS 9150. Now, the 9150 is PPC, that is true, but it had available for is a very good G3 card made by NewerTech. That, plus a Spectrum 24 video card will give you a very decent server. The 9150 also came with the "five drive tray". I've got two WGS 95s and three WGS 9150s, and the 9150 with the NewerTech G3 card and the Supermac video card is hard to beat. If the Rev. of the Supermac card's firmware is 3.0 or 3.1, then that card works in both 68K and PPC Macs. A possibly disadvantage of the "five drive tray" is it is laid out for five full-height drives, Seagate 4 GB, in most cases, and Quantum (but labeled Seagate) 4 GB, in some cases. I have used ACARD's "SCSIDE" adapters in these models, and a SCSIDE adapter has no limit, and I have tested 160 GB, 300 GB and 400 GB drives, and I am certain drives up to 750 GB would work as well, depending upon the OS. An advantage of the 9150 is its much later MacOS support. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
