Serial ATA Powerbook?

Does anyone know if there is a PCMCIA Serial ATA that is supported under OSX.

I have found them for windows laptops.

I like the idea of having serial ata drives accessible to my PB

Any advice would be helpful.

I'm not sure that any of them

I'm not sure that any of them would work on the mac. IMHO the USB ATA100 adapters are more useful.

Hm

There is Serial ATA on the G5, so I would be honestly surprised if there wasn't support for it on the standard desktop models (or even an expansion card). Now as for PCMCIA, I would want to go over to the OpenDarwin site and bug them until they cough up a driver or two to be rolled into the next kernel.

only the G5, Xserve G5 and iMac G5 have Serial ATA on the mobo ... any mac with PCI slots can have a card added though ...
