$40-50. range. The ATA 133 Acard/ SIIG card will also work in any PCI slot just like the Sonnet ATA 66 card. The Sonnet ATA 133 card needs PCI slot 1 or 2 and when you go to OSX has the limit of installing OSX in the first 8GB of the hard drive. If the Acard/SIIG works with the pioneer drive and I think it does that's the one I'd buy. Best of luck and let us know if anyone knows how to get the drive to work with the ATA 66 card. Will S
Is there any definitive guide somewhere showing which IDE cards work in OS X without the 8 GB limit? I just picked up a B&W G3 for a good price, and may want to go with an IDE card if my "flash the PC version of the Adaptec 2940UW to the Mac version" project doesn't work out. Although thanks to Jeff here, it looks promising right now!
I'm gonna stuff the B&W with loads of RAM, a G4 upgrade card and my biggest SCSI drive from my S900, if the Adaptec card flashes OK. If not, then I'll go IDE. It will be nice to have USB, Firewire, a 1 ghz G4 and a faster memory bus for OS X!
