It depends on the card. If the card is seen as "SCSI' the 8MB limitation won't apply. Other cards, like the VST are seen as IDE and the limitation does apply. Even from one vendor like Sonnet you may have some cards of each type, depending on who they contracted to make them.Paul C

An S900 would have the limitations of whatever card you put in to get an IDE bus. Sorry for the confusion.
Steve: My dim memory seems to tell me that the ATA133 cards cause the S900 >to see the ATA drives as SCSI so the limitations of the Apple IDE machines do not apply. Some one please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you Paul, It was the bit about the non-standardization of the various ATA PCI cards that I had forgotten.
Lately I have noticed I study the email posts on subjects I am interested in, and note whatever details are pertinent to my future plans.
Then I make my purchase and forget how I got to the purchase, just dumbly secure in the assumption that I did it correctly and start the study for the next task ;-).
