DynaMo 1.3Gb for the PowerBook G3

[Sergio Brandano <serbr@libero.it>]

Hi,

I am stuck with a dilemma, and your feedback may help...

I want to buy a Fujitsu DynaMo 1.3Gb, which is an external
Magneto Optical device. The dilemma is on what interface
should I go for; the possibilities are UltraSCSI (50pin), USB
or FireWire. The PowerBook G3 1999 has a SCSI port, and the
riddle here is on its type: is it a SCSI 1, 2 or 3? I did not
manage to find out! Looking for a PowerBook cable, they told
me that the only one is a something-to-25pin. If this is really
the case, then I have a SCSI type 1 (...ARGH!), the adaptor
25-to-50 would solve but the performance would still be that
of a SCSI 1... Too bad, as Linux is well supported on SCSI,
if compared to USB and FireWire. I did not manage to boot
the kernel 2.4.0-presomething, nor to find out about whether
the FireWire driver is actually working, and if I have to buy
a PCMCIA firewire, what is the one to buy. The other riddle
is: why is that Fujitsu's web sites have no MacOS drivers?
