If it was this one, I ordered one earlier in the year and it works just fine on my PowerTower mac clone (9500 based) and in my MDD. MacOS 7.6/8/9 and tested it in 10.3/10.4. They all boot from it. I just have to remember to keep the primary boot partition under 8gb on the oldworld mac.I just ordered a 2 port card from eBay that claims OS 9 capability. I paid closer to $70 with shipping. I have a feeling it is not going to work for me.
I also have the purple Sonnet Tempo SATA card and often alternate between the two in my systems.
Also find the SATA cards less finicky than using my Sonnet Tempo ATA 133 card with the sata adapters. All the SSD's have tried work just fine.. only problem I've had is so far finding a sata CD/DVD that works in MacOS 9.
So for CD's I usually end up using the Sonnet IDE/ATA card with a Apple IDE CD/DVD combo drive, but then I have to pull my ATI video card and use an old Twin Turbo graphics card as the bus on that machine doesn't want to play with the SATA, IDE and an ATI (7500 or 9200). I also had issues with using the internal SCSI bus and those cards, so I had given up on using SCSI for the CD/DVD.
