David , you are saying the VST card sees Drives hooked to it as on an IDE Bus and not a SCSI bus? This will show up in Apple system Profiler for checking. If so this is news to me and I am sorry for giving out wrong info. I was surprised to see that the VST shows up as IDE with OSX. I got this info from Ryan Rempel but it seems to say it shows up as SCSI in OS 8/9 without really saying for sure and I just posted it today here.
