Do any PC PCI IDE Cards work under OS X? I need more IDE Busses in my computer, but I think its ridiculous that Mac users have to pay 3X as much for a card than the PC version. Its an identical card, probably just flashed with a different BIOS right? A bios that turns the card into gold I guess. I'm only looking for ATA66, but The cheapest 133 RAID card i could find for Mac was $199 and for PC was $17!!!!
