I'd like to use some of my big sata drives on my g4. Looking at the
various acrchitecture support pages, i386 is the only one that has an
explicit listing of pci sata controllers, so I initially concluded
that none were supported on macppc. Then I read the following at faq:

Thanks so much for the help Bill.
I was afraid I had blown $100 out of ingnorance.
As a wrap-up (for future googlers):
- I stuck the card in a PC (since Macs don't have POST)
- Saw the Areca BIOS appear after system POST, hit "tab" to enter settings
- Toggled from RAID to JBOD
- Reinsert into Mac

I was hoping to portray how utterly ignorant on the matter of using
