I have a 8500 with a g3/300 and 9.1. I'm running 9.1 There is a single drive on the system conected to the Adaptec 2940uw and I'm using active termination on the chain (the Hard drive is not terminated). The hard drive is an IBM deskstar ultra 160 18GB. I have two partitions on the drive (mac os extended) and after XpostFacto finishes, no matter what I do, it goes back into 9.1 like nothing has happened. I have tried with several scsi cables and with different scsi drives. |

Tried with the internal bus (the cd rom/external) and I was able to install it (painfully slow, about 2 hours), but after the install, I had a kernel panic, with the message ("no driver for this model appl/8500). With the adaptec, something funny is going on. The kernel has support (seen on the test screen) for the 78xx series, it will not boot from it, but if can be accesed within os X. I will try to solve this problem as soon as I get the bos to boot up. |

I believe you are correct that it is not compatable, I had great luck installing using the internal bus been running X almost from when it came out and upgraded to Jaguar shortly after it appeared also. other than some self inflicted problems it has been great. running 3 - 9 Gig SCSI (80pin w/50 pin adapter) internal and one external |

I believe the 2940uw is not compatable with 10.2 natively, There may be a driver that Adaptec has put out since 10.2 1st came out. If there is a driver you could conceivably install to a hard drive using the internal SCSI bus and then install any new driver that is needed. After that you could re-attach the hard drive to the 2940. |
