I have given up on my quest to use the SCSI drives I acquired for

thinking of removing the current ATA 80 Gb (for the external case) and
upgrading the internal to serial ATA with PCI card.
I have three of these:

peecee case as external storage running happily with my wind tunnel MDD 
using the Apple provided ADPT 2930CU PCI SCSI card. At $14.00 for 47 
GB, the storage price was too good to pass up.

Any issues with the PCI cards in OS X ( Jag or Panther ) ?
Not sure far with any PCI cards I have used with mine. I am very 
impressed with OS X's ability to detect and recognize a wide range of 
hardware.
