Re: Will a Sawtooth boot from a PCI SATA drive



Hei

Yes, most of the SATA PCI controllers will make bootable performance on any of the older PowerMac - Sawtooth and PCI Graphics.

Thesse cards here all are guaranteed to work - taken from the Otherworld Computing website.

<http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/ATA-SCSI-Firewire-Controllers/>

FirmTek SeriTek/1S2 Serial ATA/150 Dual Channel Mac PCI Controller - Use Serial ATA (SATA) drives in any PowerMac with an available PCI Slot! 2 Year Firmtek Warranty. (FTKFTST1S2) $63.99

Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA 2-Port Serial ATA PCI Card. New with 3yr Sonnet Warranty. (STITSATA) $75.99

ACARD AEC-6290M Serial ATA (SATA) 2 Channel PCI Controller Card - Upgrade your Mac with a SATA card! (ACDAEC6290M) $56.95

SIIG Serial ATA PCI Controller Card - High-Speed dual channel PCI-to-Serial ATA (SATA) host adapter for the Power Macintosh. 5 year SIIG Warranty. (SIISCSATM12) $59.95

SIIG Serial ATA 4-Channel PCI-M - 4 Channel Serial ATA Controller for the Mac (SIISCSA4M12) $79.95

You can check it for yourself by clicking the 'more info' link at each of the cards.

I have good experiences with cards from Sonnet, SIIG and ACARD.

I've got a sawtooth and i'm trying to boot from a SATA drive off of a PCI. Every once in a while it works, but not always. I'm using 10.4.2 . Is this possible or do I have another problem?
