You might be able to get more help if you were posting that kind of question on the G-List (G3 and G4 PowerMacs) or the PCI-PowerMacs lists which are dedicated to hardware that could use that kind of PCI cards. I'm including my personal email address because I did put an ATA card in my B&W G3. It works fine in OS X and I can boot off the disk connected to the card without installing any driver and my Mac can see the whole 160GB on the drive but I just can't remember what card it is. I think it's a Sonnet but I'll check it out later tonight and will email you directly. -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
