So far, all ... except ADTX have shared the same, SCSI-type format, and are interchangeale between controllers. >I wouldn't expect it to work to just move such a >drive to a Mac without the same ATA card. As, stated, it works across manufacturers, primarilly because the same third-party, FIRMTEK, defined the format. Now, they COULD have made it compatible with native EIDE/UATA channels, but they didn't do it that way. Very likely, it could be possible to toggle between EIDE/UATA and SCSI modes, as all the drivers are present in the first six or so partitions, but, again, that's not the way FIRMTEK went. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
