Basics Data Buses - 8
Notes for Table 1:
1
The Ultra Wide SCSI PCI card is optional on the G3 Desktop unit. The Apple Ultra Wide
SCSI card and cable allow you to connect a maximum of 2 devices to this bus.
2
Physical space inside the computer limits this number to 2.
3
The ATAPI CD-ROM drive, ATAPI DVD-ROM drive, and ATA hard drive (if present) use
this bus.
4
Ultra Wide SCSI PCI card is optional on the G3 Desktop unit. It’s best not to use this bus
because it will cause any Ultra Wide SCSI-3 devices to transfer data at the slower SCSI-2
rate. No cable is provided for the SCSI-2 bus.
5
The G3 Desktop unit may come with a Zip drive attached to this bus. You can add additional
SCSI-1 devices as long as the combined number of internal and external devices is no more
than seven.
