Re: SATA PCI Card for G4 Sawtooth?
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. -- Matthew S.

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?

Re: PowerMac G5 Kernel Panics after being on for several hours to a day or two.
Hi guys, Well I had some time to attend do this... I pulled out my PCIe cards, and my RAM cards, and for good measure pulled out the CPU/heatsink assembly too. I blew it all out... put everything back in... booted up to the Apple Diagnostics Disc... discovered I burned the wrong version... got the right one in... booted to it... and ...it hit an error trying to run the thermal diagnostics. CPU0 spit out a too high temperature error and I got told to re-seat the CPU and to replace if it repeated... well I reseated and got the same error... so I decided to give something else a try. I headed off to the magical wonderland of King Fry and acquired myself some Arctic Silver 5 along with the Arctic Clean fluid, separated the CPU card from the heatsink, cleaned out the existing thermal paste and applied Arctic Silver to both the heat sink and CPU using a starbucks gift card, who knew, they were good for more than just coffee and scones. Then I put it all back together. After that, it made it through the thermal calibration and a round of all the tests in the Diagnostics program with out trouble. Also notably, iStat menus seems to be reporting a running temperature for the CPUs easily about 20˚C colder than before under like conditions. I don't know yet if this is going to have a significant impact on uptime, but I really really hope it does. ^_^ -- Matthew S. Carpenter "Stand back!

Hrmm... only firewire devices I have connected are a Lexar CompactFlash reader, and my Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED I'm guessing it's probably the CF reader which uses the LSI chipset I could try pulling it off the chain.

My experience with LSI brand chipset Firewire external devices was a little iffy. AFAIK LSI never provided any firmware updates for their chips, and when I used LSI external drives I had some intermittent problems where the driver would unmount the HD, which if this was also the boot drive, would result in panic. I doubt you’re booting your G5 from an external Firewire HD, but if you’ve got an LSI external Firewire HD attached, this might be the problem? I have much better luck with Oxford Firewire devices, which were generally rock solid as long as the firmware was updated to the latest version. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Question about hard drives

The Zip drive bays may, in general, be used to house hard drives. In some cases, particularly with pre-QSes, it may be necessary to apply insulating tape to the interior of the bay. For this purpose I generally use Scotch (3M) filament strapping (packing) tape. Also, on QSes, it may be necessary to drill the bay for HD mounting screws. Remember: 1) the Zip bay was designed with Zip drives in mind, NOT HDs, and 2) although the external size of an HD is the same as a Zip, the two do not have the same mounting hardware nor the same hardware spacing (M3-0.5 for Zips, #6-32 UNC for HDs). I've put a hard drive in the zip bay on my G4... but you can only use two screws at a time. I didn't have it installed there for very long... I was moving some files from some smaller drives that was to be removed over to the new 3TB drive and I wasn't sure if it'd get enough air flow there since I don't think the zip drive gets as hot as it can -Matt -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Question about hard drives
On 8/28/11 9:35 PM, peterh...@cruzio.com wrote: I have a Quicksilver 2002 and a Blue and White G3. I need more hard drive space. Would it be possible to use the hard drive from the G3 in the G4, or maybe hook the two towers together somehow? Just curious. A QS 2002 supports large drives natively. I would install a 500 GB or 750 GB drive on top of the existing drive. 750s might be tough to find, however. I just thought I'd add this on adding space to the G4 since others have already answered the question regarding the existing IDE controllers: Personally I bought a Sonnet Tempo SATA controller and a Hitatchi 3TB(2.7TB according to Leopard and earlier) hard drive for my Gigabit G4. The drive even shows up when I boot into OS 9. Just realize that those drives do use more power than the original IDE drives so having too many of them could cause issues since the power supplies in the G4s were not particularly high wattage compared to what came not long after in the G5s. I wouldn't put more than two of them in along side the smaller IDE boot drive unless you do some modding and either replace the psu(at which point it'd be easier just go external by use firewire or adding an eSATA card ) If the digital audio G4 or BW cases are anything like the gigabit G4, then you have 5 3.5 drive bays. The bracket the original boot drive is installed in is actually made for two drives. There are two more single-drive brackets screwed into the bottom of the case between the two-drive bracket and the front of the case, and then there is the one more drive bay underneath the DVD drive. That said if you filled them all with the newest drives you'd probably overwhelm the power supply as I mentioned earlier. -Matt -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
