I bought two of those 160GBs for my OS X Server and that same card, running the firmware update caused me no harm and made things work better.

My Mac OS X Server system is a Blue and White G3 400, 256MB [need to upgrade that], 20GB boot drive, mirrored 160GB drives.

Not being able to easily resist the Maxtor 160GB HD from Staples I bought
it, picked up a Sonnet Tempo ATA 133 PCI card from the local computer store
and installed everything. I am seeing no problems with any functions.
Looking on the Sonnet website indicates I should update the cards firmware
to version 4.0 but do I really need to? I usually follow the concept of "If
it's not broke don't fix it (yet)." My configuration is:
G4/1.25DP/1GB/FW 800 running OS 10.2.6 without known problems. The computer
has worked well since March. The boot disk is the OEM 80GB on the ATA 100.
The new HD is for data storage and digital video work.
Has anybody done this upgrade and what have been issues if any? -- George Henry-Schneider G4/1.25DP/1GB/FW 800 OS 10.2.6
