Interesting, I thought the Sonnet cards were simply re-branded Firmtek cards, but I don't remember where I heard that... maybe there you had some other problem? Anyway I have Firmtek SATA cards in my MDD and G5 PPC and they work fine. The MDD is booting from a single SATA drive and the PPC G5 is booting from a RAID 0 array with 3 SATA drives. Firmtek has specific firmware for older G4s, if you get one of their cards check out the Firmtek Support FAQs and get the correct firmware for your Sawtooth.
