Not all versions.  I have a couple in storage that are not supported.
Sorry, no access to check model #'s, but I am sure the ATTO folks
would tell you if you asked.  They sent me email regarding firmware
flashing on 3-4 year old cards when I pinged support.

There is a manufacturer of PCI SCSI RAID that supports Macs, too.
I don't know if they make non-RAID or not; I'll dig around in the book-
marks when I get home.

I dunno if that Adaptec rumor is for real or not.
