I've only seen one older card not work. It was for a PC and the boot ROM
was what kept it from working. That, and one of the ATA-133 cards (don't
remember which) would sometimes have problems when using two drives on the
two channels at the same time. Otherwise, every single one so far has been
plug and play, even with 180 gig drives and so on.
