Sonnet/SIIG ATA.SATA Card

	Could someone with a SONNET ATA, or SATA, or the SIIG card, and
Panther do an "About this Mac" and "More Info" and see if they have
something show up under SCSI? Another poster has already mentioned the
Sonnet doesn't report as an ATA device.

	The reason I ask is Sonnet's older ATA-66 card masqueraded as a SCSI
card. The downside is the drive must be formatted on their controller, and
can't simply be moved to a newer machine, such as a G5 for the SATA or an
MDD for an ATA, without re-formatting the drive again, or carrying their
card with the drive. (Or going in the other direction either) This is rather
a bummer to moving a couple hundred GB of data to a new machine, without, at
least, a spare large drive to shuttle the data.
