I am seeking a card that will handle multimode fiber with a sc connection. Smalltree makes such a card but it is priced way out of my range.

Smallport's cards are a bit pricey ($700-1000 compared to $150-500 for most 802.3z cards), but I guess that's the price you pay for OS X drivers. It really shows you how small OS X is in the pro arena when most gigabit fiber cards come with 2000/XP/2003/Vista/FreeBSD/Linux/Novell drivers but not OS X.

Sorry, Canny Li, but while that card seems to be a good one, it pointedly does NOT support OS X. And this being an Apple-oriented forum, I'd think you'd have considered that. Your post seems like a commercial advertisement because of this. Got any cards that DO support MacOS?
