You have the basic problem with any disk controller, it needs to have 
drive code embedded in ROM on the board for it to boot.  That code 
would have to be Mac specific and it's unlikely someone would write 
their own for it.  While a driver could be written to use the board 
AFTER boot it's probably not worth the effort as most people would 
want to use it for boot drives.
