Very interesting, Phil. Thank you. I may need to be more detailed with the specific SIIG card I'll be using.
It's the SIIG Ultra ATA 133/100 Pro Do you know if this first 8 gig partition issue applies to this specific card as well? I've just realized something. Last night when I did an "apple system profiler" on the system with that card in it, I was wondering why it was saying it was a "scsi" card. I think you may have just solved that issue, and it leads me to believe that the first 8 gig partition issue might NOT be a problem with this card. Thoughts are welcome.
