Bah. When I wrote "Initio" in my original message, I meant "Atto". Leaky brain. The Atto cards are great, from what I've read, but ones like the UL3D and UL4D are dual ported cards. I had a UL2D and it had to be installed in a non-Bridge slot in the Umax S900 in order to work. They will work fine in one of your MDD's slots, but *might* have problems if you get an expansion chassis. As I wrote, I don't know if Apple fixed that bug after the x500/x600 PCI PowerMacs. I think that the UL4D does not have support for OS9. You'll want to check that. So the UL3D may be your best choice amongst the Atto cards. If you want a single ported card, consider the Adaptec PowerDomain 29160, but check if OS support goes late enough for you. I have this vague feeling that Adaptec stopped providing updates at some point.
