Well, you have two basics directions: Buy something supported under
Macos, and hope it has a chipset supported under Linux (SCSI-emulation
solutions come to mind), or forget about Macos, and buy a PC-type card
that is supported under Lunux (Promise, others; no booting from this
card then)

I'm running myself under Linux with a Promise U/66; works great (but not
bootable and not useable under MacOS).

PS there used to be a Promise OEM that had MacOS drivers.. can't remeber
the name...
