I am looking for an older Mac - preferably a Beige G3 (tower or desktop) with built in SCSI or I'll consider any B/W tower and up that has a working SCSI card.

PM or email details

Thanks for looking

I'm in Barrie as well. I have a 867 Quicksilver (1.5 megs RAM). NO SCSI card but in great shape. Let me know if you're interested.

PM's and Posts replied too ...

Still looking - and to clarify why ... I have an older high end SCSI scanner (slide and transparency scanner) that is currently running on a, now ancient, PC which is starting to have network issues and other age related issues (and no it's not used on the internet so it seems to be virus free). I'm not a Windows guy so I can't trouble shoot it when it doesn't work right either. I would like to buy a older G3/G4 with SCSI built in or added on so I can run the scanner from that system.

Have you considered using some sort of SCSI converter?
Like this one to convert SCSI to FW400"
FireWire(IEEE1394) to Ultra SCSI Converter FR1SX

There is also a SCSI to USB 2.0 converter, a bit cheaper but drivers may be an issue.

We should have an old B&W 450 MHz server G3 that is SCSI 2 that was a web server floating around. What type of scanner is it? Nikon, Kodak, Leaf? Just curious in case you need a specific OS as well. Problem is I'm down in Toronto.

The scanner is a Microtek Scanmaker 4 - no specific OS, I will actually use VueScan to operate the scanner

Travelling to Toronto, no issue. Send me specs and price, either PM or email

Thanks


Thanks for the link and there is a USB to SCSI adaptor that will work with my scanner but at the cost they want for one shipped I can buy two or three Macs that I am looking for. I'll stick with the system as I would prefer to have a stand alone scanning station rather than finding space on the limited desk spaceI have where my main workstation is.
