This G5 is late(October) 2005 with 8 ram slots - does it need to be a
PCI-E card or will PCI do it?
It needs to be PCIe. However, PCIe support is incomplete on Power
Macs;
any device connected to it will almost certainly not be bootable,
let alone
Target Disk Mode-capable. It should work once OS X is booted, though.
Cameron, thanks for that detail.
Now I have tiger 10.4.11 up and running I'll just do my backups via
usb2, though I will get a 6-9 firewire cable and try the 800 jack later.
Meanwhile, I'll settle for what I have - it runs smooth & quiet &
faster than any of my previous macs - well the pismo is quieter!
