This has been covered so many times I thought everyone realized this as fact. None of the Old World machines see IDE buses that is the reason for the IDE PCI cards converting them to SCSI so the data can be read.So it doesn't surprise me that software made for SCSI buses can also read it. However to muddy the waters a bit here is some interesting info on the IDE PCI cards. This from Ryan Rempel of XPostFacto(OSX) fame >The VST UltraTek, on the other hand, does not pretend to be a SCSI >card in Mac OS X and the Sonnet ATA 100 I belive(which is made by >Promise (VST) are both seen as IDE cards in OSX only. Very odd and sure to be a source of confusion at some point. Will S -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
