1. Read my OP - "..spanning from Q650 to PM9600."
2. Flexibility and speed. Especially 10 -15 years ago. Narrow drives started dissapearing at that time and move to UW drives seemed logical. Besides, when working in enviroment where clients pay you by hour, moving large amounts of data /waiting...
Trash80toHP_Mini,
Your questions are too general.
What toys are you talking about? IIxx family? SE? Quadras? NuBus PowerMacs? PCI PowerMacs? Internal or external? Bootable? The only drive in chain or one of several? What OS? What formatter?
Each case have to be examined separately, I'm...
I have never ever seen 2.3 GB 3.5" MO discs. 230 and 640Mb, sure, still using them for critical backups, but 2.3Gb??
Are you sure it's not a typo or that you've bough 5.25" drive?
I thought I'll add my observations after a week of use
Based on the sites I visit regulary (and there aren't that many, btw) 9.3.0 crashed more often than 9.2.3. I swithced back to 9.2.3 for the time being. I'm not bad mouthing or anything - it's just me and my 5c.
Anyway, I still highly...
Just FIY - in addition to versions that coius has, I have Crescendo 1.2.7 - 1.3.7 - 1.4 - 1.4.1 and Crescendo/Encore 2.0.2 - 2.0.3 - 2.3.1; in case anyone needs them.
Why?

That's why. It's tiny.
Follow the link prowided by OP and you will see the specs too.
Bunsen,
There is no slot on the Newertech upgrade card, that cable is soldered. ;-)
Ok, on later models it attaches by the way of multipin connector, but that wouldn't help either.
I have/had/installed for others several. One had symptom ( B) , one was DOA, others were working.
My guess would be:
a) video card not seated properly.
B) problem with the flexible connector - either some pins are bent and touching or some trace is broken due to extensive flexing.
c) not...
Why would you need that? Coolness factor? ;-)
If you're not going to record or connect your Mac to some outboard gear via digital cable (external DAC, DAT recorder etc.) but all you need is analog output, I can tell you that output circuitry of SAII NuBus and SE/30 cards is identical to that...
