About drivers, you forgot that Mac OS X uses Darwin kernel and userspace, which is Open Source, so you can write a module to support anything you want (and they actually do that).
I've tried a number of these images and none of them seem to support installing to SCSI drives - which is all I have. It boots and starts the installer just fine, but it can't find a hard drive.
