On PCI Macs, you have the option of IDE, SATA, USB and Firewire, so one wonders why one would even bother with adding a SCSI card.
PCI expansion slotsYou can install PCI cards in these slots to expand your computer’s capabilities. For

example, you can install a SCSI PCI card and then connect and use SCSI devices such as

scanners, hard disk drives, and Zip drives.
IIRC, it was a standard option, at least mine came with one. I'd have to dig out the invoice to check to see if it was an Apple Part, like the ZIP Installation Kit (that they weren't supposed to sell for user installation [}:)] ]'> ) or something I had added in from a second source when I bought the Graphite Gift. [;)] ]'>

The same still applies, but other than a couple of my legacy HDDs, there'd be little point to adding the card for mass storage in today's world. I'd wanted to get a SATA Card to put in the DA, but alas, that'll have to go into the QS'02 with the rest of the goodies from the DA.
