Other World Computing (www.macsales.com) has Apple OEM UL2D cards for 
$29 US right now.  Since they're the Apple OEM model, one channel goes 
to a single external connector and the other to a single internal 
connector (i.e. they're more like what Atto calls a UL2S).  But for $29 
it's hard to complain.

I may soon set up a G4 with a UL3D and Linux myself, and I'll let you 
know what happens if I do it before you do your own experiment.
