When I got my IIfx it was missing the internal SCSI filter, and searching eBay I could only find one seller that ever has them. However, the starting bid was more than the cost of getting a basic Nubus SCSI card. So, I got an ATTO Silicon Express II card (10MB/sec, 50-pin) for a couple bucks. Only, I still can't boot up the IIfx with it. It just sits there on the splash screen for whichever video card I put in it (I have four). So, I checked out ATTO's site to see if it needed any special drivers. As it turns out, they only have drivers/software for their Silicon Express IV, which is a 20MB/sec, 68-pin card. I downloaded them and put them on the drive that I was using but it still won't boot. So, now I have to decide whether should try to get one of the IIfx internal filters or whether I should get a card that has more support, like the SE IV or better yet, an FWB JackHammer. Any suggestions? Lieutenant EL CINE, 666th poster to the

Ahhhh, I think I'm just going to try to get a JackHammer. I just searched eBay and even "ye Old Mac Milt" doesn't have a IIfx SCSI filter, but there are two JackHammers up with 3 and 4 days left respectively. Hopefully they won't go over $50...If I can get the ATTO II to work, I'll just use it in my IIci. Lieutenant EL CINE, 666th poster to the
