If you could plug an adapter into the IDE port on the logicboard of a
PowerMacG4, you'd probably run into issues trying to get the case to
close without breaking the adapter board... not a lot of head room over
the logicboard there when you close the case.

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
