(ACDAEC6260M) more info ... $54.99 >> The ACARD 6260M is about as bulletproof as a controller gets. Also, it is one of the very few which can be FLASHed to PC mode or Mac mode. The VST UltraTek/66 (not mentioned by the above-quoted writer) is also pretty bulletproof. This card can be FLSAHed to support OS-X, but not to support the PC. All UATA cards are compatible with UATA/33, /66, /100 and /133 drives. IOW, the drives and controllers are upward and downward compatible. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
