Today I got my Hitachi 1TB SATA disk and the ICIDU PCI SATA controller card which has two internal and two external channels. Low & behold: it has an Initio-chip model INIC-1620TA2 on the board. So there might be hope that it will work in my MDD G4? And might even be bootable? No ICIDU Mac drivers available though. Could I try the drivers from another Initio-based SATA controller card? What do you all reckon? It would be just wonderful ... I'm posting this from my Gmail account and hope that there will be no double post. I once even did a triple post accidentally. When I posted a reply I got a time-out and refreshed the page. So the time-out wasn't a time-out after all. TIA for your help.
