It would be nice if there was an adapter that went into the mobo IDE
slot so you could run a SATA cable out to the drive. Routing would be
much easier that way.

FWIW, i've bee using a Firmtek seritek 1s2 internal card for the last
5-6 years with 1 and 2 tb Sata 1 drives and a 3 tb WD SATA III drive.
Using a PPC Gigabit Ethernet (Mystic) running 10.4.11 . Had to
partition the WD 3 tb into a 1 and 2 tb section from an external
case before I could format it natively. YMMV

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? Thanks once again --glen
