| More feedback on reinstalling Adaptec SCSI card OS X Drivers in Leopard |
More feedback on the note/tip in the Nov 9th news on reinstalling Adaptec OS X drivers in Leopard helped get a SCSI card recognized/working again. (First report was from a 2906 card owner using it with a Scanner).
"
Good morning, For your request, I have a G4 Quicksilver hooked up to a Nikon Coolscan II. It is hooked to a SCSI with a 2930 PCI card. I recently upgraded with a Sonnet 1.8GHz processor and Leopard.
After installing, it did cause my Mac to crash. After rebooting it recognized the scanner and I was able to use the 7.6.54 version of Vuescan with no problems, yet. I'll keep my fingers crossed! :)
Thanks for posting this valuable information.

I had another 2930 and 39160 card owner reply the drivers got the cards recognized again and he hadn't yet tried the cards with SCSI devices. Although these drivers have not been updated for years (going back to 2004 and older) some have had success with them, although like anything, YMMV.
If you do try a driver reinstall in Leopard with your Adaptec SCSI card, let me know if it works. Include card model/driver, mac model, connected devices, etc. in reports. Thanks!
FYI - to save you a click, here's a listing of the OS X driver download pages for various Adaptec SCSI cards that readers had reporting using in Tiger and not working after the 10.5 upgrade. Version/date listed is for the last/latest driver there:

PCIe Serial card in Mac Pro
Just thought I'd drop a line to let you know about serial ports under Leopard. I have a need for a 9 pin serial port and the Keyspan USB adapter is too fast/unstable under XP (which I have to use for this one application).
I found a SIIG Cyberserial PCIe single port card ( JJ-E10011-S2 ) on ebay. After installing card Tiger knew there was a PCI bridge but nothing else showed up in System Profiler, but it worked great under XP.
To my surprise after upgrading to Leopard, System Profiler nows shows I have a 16550 serial port, I tested the port with my Garmin GPS on the Mac side of my dual boot system and it works flawlessly!
