After Googling on your INIC number, I get:
System Requirement
* PC computer with one 32-bit PCI slot
* MS Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP/NT 4.0
* MS Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP & MAC OS(only for INIC-1623TA2)
at the following address

SATA/SATA_Controller_Card.html
Not definitive? The part about "MAC OS(only for INIC-1623TA2)" might
indicate a bummer, maybe not.
