With a working ultrawide controller in the Mac, the drive is usable. The PCI SCSI controller may or may not be flashable for Mac use (it depends on which adaptec card it is...). As for the Miro card, it is probably not, based on this at Pinnacle System's FAQ entry on the DC 30: "The MiroMotion DC30 series for Mac and the MiroVideo DC30 series for PC are two different product lines. Although each of these lines can perform the same functions, they are designed on a hardware and software level differently. You cannot interchange the software or hardware between a Mac or PC. Note: Pinnacle System's MiroMotion DC30 for the Macintosh platform is currently a discontinued product. There is information available on the web under MiroMotion DC30 on our Support site for this product." -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
