Adaptec has posted several new beta and FC SCSI card drivers for OS X 10.0.x and OS X Server, including PowerDomain 39160 v1.0b9, PowerDomain 29160/29160N 1.0b10, PowerDomain 2930U 1.0fc1 and AVA-2906 v1.0fc1.

Still no 2940UW drivers :-(
More importantly for PowerBook owners, there are still no drivers for the APA-1480! This means that for owners of newer PowerBooks there's absolutely no way to get SCSI devices working under Mac OS X!
From my point of view, this means that Adaptec's lack of drivers for this PCMCIA card are single-handedly preventing me from using Mac OS X as my primary operating system; my Zip 100MB, my Jaz 1GB, my scanner, my CD-RW drive and my Exabyte tape drive are all SCSI based, and frankly I can't do without them.
Grrr.
Agreed on the PowerBook problem. I bought the 1480 becuase they promised compatibility.
Does anyone know what's the holdup or have any information on when the driver will be released?
Argh ... I keep hoping one of these updates will enable deep sleep; it sucks not being able to put my desktop machine to sleep.
As for the PC Card, that may not be entirely Adaptec's fault. It's my understanding that OS X has incomplete PC Card support at present ... perhaps this will improve with 10.1.
