Hello, I have SuSE ppc running on a Power Mac 7300/180 with its stock (SCSI) hard drive. I was wondering, if I add a PCI/ATA controller card and connect an IDE drive, would it be recognized? Could I even make it bootable? For definiteness, the relevant card might be either of these (VST UltraTek or AHARD): http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID=2909 http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID=3853 and the first drive I'd try to connect would be this one (Western Digital Caviar, just swapped out of a stock Rev.B iMac): http://www.tele.pw.edu.pl/~dflaga/ide/wdc24300.htm This seems to work under Mac OS (http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/IDE.html has numerous reports), are there any reasons why it shouldn't under Linux?
