The OWC Serial ATA PCI card will only recognize devices attached to the COM1 (the leftmost connector on the inside, the top connector on the outside) as a bootable device using the startup disk preference pane.
Pci To Sata Card
I'm wondering if Mac-compatible PCI serial ATA cards are under development or available. The status of my 80GB IBM 'Deathstar' model is questionable (it was replaced during the recall, but it was clicking like the devil a few weeks ago).
Pci Serial Card Driver
I would like to get a Serial ATA interface drive, so I can put it into a new Powermac when I decide to buy one (probably early next year). Yeah, I know, I can use an adapter, but I'd prefer to get the as much speed advantage from the drive as possible, instead of relying on my Yikes! G4's ATA/33 interface.

Pci Serial Port
With the length advantage of SATA. It would be nice to see a PCI SATA card with internal AND external connections similiar to what Highpoint is doing with eSATA.
