Speaking of... You can take PCI Adaptec 2940 cards(the ones for PC's, i.e w/o
firmware for openboot boxes) stick'em in a Macintosh then update the
firmware from Adaptec using their Macintosh firmware updater.Then you
can use the cards in a Mac, and save yourself the $20 extra mac places
chagrge for the "mac version". I remember adaptec selling a 2940UW/OF
card while back, the OF denoting open firmware. 


I wouldnt be suprised if you updated the
firmware then pulled the card out and stuck it in a sun, you should see
it in "show-devs", Altohugh I've not tried this.
