While I have no comment to make on that, it so happens that the 1st
PCI EIDE controller I found for my 7600 on eBay was an Ahard Acard,
which has the advantage of making the IDE disks look like SCSI to the
Mac, thus evading the 8GB boot partition problem. Works for me; it's
now in the Beige G3 on which I'm typing, as it's substantially faster
than the onboard IDE, which is now only used for my internal Zip drive
- which I very seldom need. It's handy for transferring stuff to/from
my Classic II, though. :)
