Putting SATA drives in a Power Mac G4 MDD - looking for controller recommendations
Post Body

I'm swapping out some of the drives in my PMG4 for SATA drives. The primary reason I'm doing this is to have a better selection of hard drives. I've got lots of IDE drives, but they're either in use in various machines or they're not suitable for what I need to do. On the other hand I've got many SATA drives sitting around doing nothing, and they're basically all working.

Does anyone know of a PCI controller that would give me 4 SATA ports internally? I'd like to be able to boot from the card as well, but if I need to keep an IDE drive in the machine to boot from that's fine as well. I don't need any sort of RAID functionality, and I also don't need eSATA.
