Yes, but if the SATA would work, he could always use a small SCA disk
for /boot and the SATA for everything else. SATA is cheaper for large
quantities of storage space than SCSI is. Unfortunately I don't know if
the SATA would work in the PCI slots either, but as long as they're
standard PCI it should.
