Does anyone know if there is a PCI bus ultra ATA 66 controller card with a mac driver available? I have a promise ultra 66 card for PC, but am switshing to mac and wondered if there is any way to get a mac driver for it, or if anyone makes them.
Now that Mac is using the technology in the new G4's (Ultra ATA66) you'd think someone would see a niche there!
