I'm thinking of using this SYBA SY-PCI140010 PCI card to add a SATA drive to my G4 Sawtooth. I have checked the SYBA site and it does have an OS X driver with a 2010 date. It does not say what version of OS X. Has anyone had any success or failure with this card? It has a SIL3124 Chipset. The hard drive is a 320 MB SATA II. The Sawtooth has a dual 1.25 GHz upgrade processor with 2 GB RAM and running 10.4.11. The Sawtooth recognizes the full 320 GB of the drive when attached via a USB 2.0 card or the USB 1.1 native bus using a SATA-USB adapter. I would rather have the drive inside the computer and be able to boot the drive into 10.4.11. I can't do that when connected with USB on that old G4. My other option is a SATA/Firewire external enclosure which should be bootable and would cost about the same. This is a temporary solution until I fix or replace my recently failed G5. I need to open files in Adobe CS2 and FileMaker 7 so 10.4.11 preferred, 10.5.8 or maybe even 10.6.8 with an Intel Mac. Any thoughts or ideas?
