That was then.. this is now. In general, the exact same hardware will
work in both PC and Mac. I've put in hardware like 7.1 M-audio sound
cards, Belkin USB 5-port cards, kenston memory chips, DVD-R/-RW Players,
SCSI adapters, and even replaced video cards, all by walking into my
local CompUSA, Best Buy, or Fryes walking right into the PC peripherals,
choosing a card and buying it. Non of these things were any more cost
than a PC only peripherals. So, I always get really perplexed when
people make statements like you make.

My mistake sorry. Newegg has others such as this one.

And, in general.. sometimes things don't say they work with a Mac on the
package, but I've found a lot more than not they actual do. For
example, I bought a USB to Parallel cable for Parallel only printers..
dosnt' say anything like OSX or OS9 on the box.. but it worked like a champ.
