My trusty workhorse G3 B&W is running out of diskpace. I've got
80GB and 20GB drives on the ATA33 chain and the ATA16 chain's got a
CD-RW and Zip drive. The machine is mainly used for backup and
fileserving duties across a small network and so still runs OSX 10.1.5
Any recommendations on Ultra ATA or SATA cards? It's not so much
the increased drive speed that I'm interested in, it's the fact
that the onboard controller is limiting me to 120GB drives and the
sweet spot for GB/£ seems to be moving beyond this.
The Firmtek SeriTek SATA cards are very nice in my experience:

They are bootable in a G3 with both OS9 and OSX (10.1.5 upwards
according to Firmtek's web site).
Last time I asked them they didn't have a UK distributor but were
quite happy to ship direct from the US.
