    G4 has a scsi card; did G5 have one?

    I have some Kodak film scanners with scsi connectors. The last Mac we could use them with was the G4. Is this still the case? Has anyone created a scsi card for a G5 or later? Or an adaptor that might allow the scanner to work with a G5? If not, I may just find some G4s to use them with. Any...
