in general, bundled hardware is wintel specific in the onboard rom/drivers
support. with regard to harddrive controllers, i have never found a
bundled controller that supports macs (i have about 6 ata 100 and 133
controllers that were bundled) basically, if it doesnt blatantly say "mac
os9/x support" it doesnt support it.
