Re: Re: ...
I will have pictures later when I get home, I'm at school now
I have a FireWire card and a UltraWide SCSI card, the SCSI card oldly enough is connecting my IDE Hard Drive to me computer, then my CD-ROM, Floppy, and Zip are connected directly to the motherboard next to the SCSI port (not the internal SCSI) I have a SCSI Hard Drive hats conencted to my motherboard not using the card. So Can I just move my Hard Drive cable from the UW SCSI Card to the motherboard? Will it work? At that point can I just take out that UW SCSI Card? then I can have USB and a Graphics card

Re: Re: Re: ...
You could also get a USB/Firewire combo card. Sonnet makes this and they also make the trio which carries firewire/usb/ATA133. Either one of these cards would open up a slot for you.
I don't know about plugging the SCSI drive into an internal port. I think they would use different connectors. The external port is a connector for a heavily shielded cable. Where as the internal ports are usually much wider and narrower for a ribbon cable.

Re: Mini Tower Trouble... In Flash Player 6 format
I've never heard of or seen a card that carries both IDE and SCSI both. This would be new to me unless Apple had it specially made. Can you verify the drive types and formats for me. Also a pic would be helpful. Nice flash by the way but really didn't piece things together for me. Maybe a pic along with the flash will do it.
