More of a generic faq but do add in IDE cards require Mac specific logic to be usable either in Old World or even New World Macs? Are they in the same category as video cards with an onboard ROM that needs to talk to Open Firmware? Are we paying a premium simply for Mac functionality?

Not 100% clear on the question because of the technical terms, but all I did was plop in a Sonnet Tempo (ATA 66 back then) and connected a drive to it.
Plug and play under OS 9.1.
Drive showed up on the desktop and I went ahead and reformatted it.
If you get a drive that isn't Mac ready, then it can be found using something like HDST and initialzied/formatted.
This would be for a s900.
