Not quite so.

My experiences with some of the ATTO cards showed me that the majority  
of the cards that had Ultra-Wide SCSI ports for the external  
connection would not allow me to boot to my external drives. When I  
installed card with a standard SCSI 25-pin connection, I could boot to  
the external drives.

Unfortunately, it has been over three years since I have used those  
kinds of ATTO cards and I cannot remember their part numbers. Sorry  
that I cannot give more information than what I have.
