Unless you buy a new controller or get the driver from Intech: http:// 
www.speedtools.com/ATA6.shtml ($25). Unfortunately, Mac controllers  
are quite expensive compared to their PC counterparts. The least  
expensive Mac PCI ATA controller I've seen is around $65. A similar  
part for a PC is $15.
