I see it comes with Firewire and USB cards - nice You won't actually need drivers, they're built in to OS 8.6 and above. At worst you may have to download the relevant components from Apple.
Unfortunately, the Adaptec FireWire PC Card doesn't mount my external 2.5" OWC 40GB SSD drive in OS 10.4 on the Wallstreet (XpostFacto), so it would appear that drivers are truly needed for use with that particular card. There is nothing wrong with my SSD itself though. I know this because when I put in a USB PC card into the same Wallstreet, it mounts the SSD just fine. I was able to reformat and partition it too (in OS 10.4 via XpostFacto). I just wanted to try to get Firewire to work, so I could do benchmark comparisons on the speed.
