I can get a good deal on a SIIG ATA/133 PCI controller card. Does anyone have any words of wisdom about this card?
I've been told to look for a few things when buying an ATA IDE controller card:
-Make sure you can boot from it
-Make sure it doesn't have the <8Gig problem (where the drive must be partitioned for OS X to work)
-Make sure it works with OSX
I have a Umax S900 souped up with a NewerTech 333Mhz G3 card (it currenly runs Jaguar OS X 10.2.6 Server nicely) and I really want to move away from low storage, expensive SCSI drives.
Thanks for the all the advice!
