Re: SYBA SD-SATA-4P
That's why I buy using the USP Mail. You can phone and get all the info on the front ... rather than from the local 'All Brands Computer Store. There you hear the Oh, I, au, T-widy jabberwocky from a teenager that isn't even familiar with a Mac. I first encounted that about 1987 with one of the very first big box outfits that cliamed to sell Apple Macintosh computers. In truth, the Teenage, Pimply, PeeSee, MicroSuck, Nerds, Would talk down the Mac and try to switch them to a PC. For the first six months, everytime I went in there I'd stand around and eavesdrop by the Macintosh section; sometimes it was irritating enough that I would butt in.

Re: SYBA SD-SATA-4P
Dear Customer, The box for this card was designed for a series of controller cards. Some of which did support Mas OS 10.5+. Unfortunately this is one of the cards of the series that does not support Mac OS. As I pointed out on H Q-A (where this question was originally posted), the Silicon Image series of cards was supported NOT BY Apple, but by SI itself. SI dropped OS X support many moons ago, and the SI host bus adapters are NO LONGER SUPPORTED, nor are they supportable. The current offerings of High Point, the RR622 specifically, ARE SUPPORTED. Rosewill USED to offer its RAID systems with the SI card, but it has since switched to the High Point card. The Rosewill RAID systems use a SI port multiplier chip internally, but it does not require any host support. It may be driven by any host which has port multiplier support, certainly including the High Point RR622, or, indeed, some host motherboard chips, like those found on some LGA 1366 motherboards. -- -- 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.
