Adaptec Ultra160 Scsi Controller Card For Mac Os

In my G5 1.8 duel PowerMac, I have had installed Adaptec's Ultra160 SCSI controller 29160 (bought in 2002) which then has two Medea VideoRaids hard drives attached and this SCSI chain is terminated. I just updated from OS 10.4 to Leopard 10.5.6 last night. When I boot up, the computer does not see the SCSI drives (they do not mount on the desktop). If I use System Profiler and go down to PCI cards, it does see the card exists (name, type), but that is all. Has anyone had this problem? Any suggestions of how to get them to mount? I use these drives for my Final Cut Studio editing.

Adaptec 29160 U160 LVD SCSI Controller - Brand New OEM. The Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 is tailored for entry to mid-range server environments. It delivers the maximum throughput for a single channel Ultra160 SCSI card by using a 64-bit PCI interface. If you boot from a SCSI device attached with the SCSI controller, leave the 'SCSI Controller Int 13 Support' at 'Enabled'. Under 'Advanced Configuration' set 'Domain Validation' to 'Disabled'. Press Esc to exit. Note: These setting is available on Ultra320 and Ultra160 family cards only! Go to 'SCSI Device Configuration'.

Just upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 and this is why I updated the OSX operating system. Now I'm saying 'D'oh!' Every time I boot. Any thoughts or guidance is welcome. Thanks in advance! Happily, there is a solution to this problem, and I am benefiting from it now!

This problem - not being able to load a working driver for Adaptec SCSI cards that will work with Leopard, e.g. 10.5.6 - has been noted by quite a few others. There is a (now-closed) discussion on this on the Apple forums at: The solution mentioned there does work: on another partition or drive, boot up into OS 10.4. Run the Adaptec driver install package from there, but choose your 10.5.6 partition/drive to install onto. Works perfectly.

It is noted that - if you are in 10.5.6 and just run the available Adaptec driver install package, you will get the following: 'Install Failed - The following install step failed: run preinstall script for Adaptec SCSI Card.' However, if you install from 10.4 onto your 10.5.6 partition, no problem. The solution produces a proper read/write SCSI interface (before this approach some people had ended up in a read-only situation). FYI here is the same issue and solution as discussed on Accelerate Your Mac (skip down to 'Driver Install Tip for Adaptec SCSI card/OS X Leopard Users': So far as I can know, the Adaptec 29160 best uses the v1.3beta driver, and the 2906 needs the v1.1 driver. If there are more up-to-date drivers, let me know. The 2906 had a 1.3 driver, but that was OS 9 only.

Good luck and enjoy. I'm very happy to have my scanner back. Now if I can just remember this approach when we get Snow Leopard!
