No, you are probably right, as I said, I wasn't 100% about the VST. > > But this sure has opened up an interesting set of questions as to > which IDE > card I should choose.

However, if you are going to be using OSX, then the answer is a resounding YES! The ACARD ATA/66 based cards show up a SCSI and are fully supported under OSX. The VST will NOT work under OSX unless you use a hack. Another nice side benefit of the latter card is that since the drives show as SCSI, you don't have to install OSX in the first 8GB partition. Hell, makes installing on an unsupported machine easier than installing on a 'supported' Beige G3. -Robyn -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
