Kim,
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't get an answer on the
Apple G4 forums.
I will check one of those converters and I hope that it will even support
chained SCSI devices.
Nevertheless, I think it's a pity that the OSX engineers dropped the SCSI
support. Am I alone in this?
Creo also dropped the basic Eversmart support (built in 1999 ! ) for it's newer
OXygen releases.
Regards,
Paul Schilliger

Good Luck, I'd also check with Creo re: OSX native software or look at a
