Basically as long as the ATA card is recognized in OS 9, it will work with XPF/OSX. The only issue is that the OS X partition will have to be the 1st one and at most 8GB in size. A good list for these type of questions is the Unsupported OS X list <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html>.

I ran OS X 10.3.9 on my 9600/350 G3-500 on a paritioned 70 GB drive, with 3 equal paritions, and had no problems- used the original 4 GB drive as a back-up OS X boot drive.

As far as I've always heard the 8Gb limitation applies ONLY to the built in IDE controller on the machines in question.

Actually, it was a problem with Apple's installer applying the same limit to all IDE drives in OldWorld machines regardless of how they were connected (built-in or PCI card). With XPF 4, Ryan has worked around the problem for those drives attached using PCI IDE cards.
