What I fear is that they have sme code in their ROMs which is x86
specific which then doesn't run on anything else. The adaptec card has
this Ctrl-A on startup option which puts you into
Setup/Low-Level-Format-Harddrive mode which is definitely running on x86
machines and I have serious doubts that there is any code in there to do
similar things on PPC.
I have not yet tried the card in the Mac but it will happen soon :).
Thanks guys,
Chris
