Hard drive controller card for G3 BW (version 1)

[Bjarni Gunnarsson]

I have a G3  BW (upgraded to 450MHz G4) with a version 1 IDE controller 
for the hard drive. I  want to install a Hitachi 80GB drive and when I 
first tried there was a lot of data corruption and I had trouble 
starting up. I have been advised by Apple to install a IDE controller 
card for hard drives to update the old chip on the motherboard, which 
does not support big drives and also slave/master problems will arise. 
My question is, will any IDE card (PCI) fit this purpose or do I have 
to get a dedicated Mac card? I can obtain a Highpoint Rocket 133S ATA 
disk accelerator. Will this work in a Mac?
