First Generation PCI-Based Macs with SCSI bus: Apple's first PCI-based Macintosh models, and most Apple clone computer (StarMax, PowerComputing, DayStar etc. ) computers did have the traditional SCSI bus connection for mass storage. While the SCSI bus has a number of advantages and allows for connecting up to seven mass storage devices, the actual hard disk drives are significantly more expensive than the PC-compatible IDE drives. With the availability of the PCI2IDE adapter owners of PCI-based Macintosh computers with internal SCSI bus can take advantage of the more economical, PC-compatible IDE drives, resulting in dramatically reduced storage costs for large capacity storage needs. First Generation G3 Macintosh Computers: Apple's first two G3 models (the beige G3s), the G3-Desktop and the G3-Minitower, have an IDE connection built in, allowing the use of a more economical IDE hard disk drive. However, these Mac models only allow the connection of a maximum of two IDE drives. These two possible connections are already taken by the internal hard disk drive and the internal CD-ROM drive, leaving no available connections for expanding your mass storage. With the availability of the PCI2IDE adapter owners of the G3-Desktop and the G3-Minitower can take advantage of expanding their Macs with the more economical, PC compatible IDE drives. Second Generation G3 and G4 Macintosh Computers: Apple's later G3 models (the blue&white G3s) also have IDE connections built in. These Mac models allow the connection of a maximum of four IDE drives. One connection is taken by the hard disk, the other by the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, a third one may be taken by the internal ZIP drive. With the availability of the PCI2IDE adapter owners of the second generation G3 and G4 Macintosh computers can expand expanding their Macs with more than four compatible IDE drives. System Requirements: PCI based Macintosh. System Software 8.5 or newer. Installation: Open your computer and insert the PCI2IDE Adapter into an open PCI slot of your Macintosh. Mount the hard disk drive in an open bay. Connect the PCI2IDE adapter with the hard disk drive, using the provided cable. There is no software installation required. Tool Requirements: None. However you may want to use an antistatic grounding strap (available at most computer hardware stores). Time Requirement: About 20 minutes. We Deliver: PCI2IDE adapter card, 40-pin 80-wire high-throughput IDE cable, 5GB or 10GB or 20GB or 30GB or 40GB major brand hard disk drive, illustrated installation instructions.
