I don't recall Apple ever using Adaptec chips. Their first ethernet
card (NuBus) was done by 3-Com and so marked. Recently (several years
ago) Apple offered a high end Atto SCSI card with new systems. Power
Computing was the one who shipped possibly the world's first Adaptec
2930's, years before a much improved 2930 hit the boxed shelves.
IIRC the first PowerPC Macs had two SCSI busses, one was NCR and the
other was a combo AMD Lance ethernet and SCSI.
