I heard from someone in my local user's group that he was talking with someone from OKS (at Applefest I believe) and he (OKS guy) couldn't say much (proprietary and confidential information), but hinted around that OKS was working with Apple to get more speed out of Apple's SCSI interface card. Possibly Apple is licensing technology from OKS to include in their SCSI interface card? Good news if this is true.
