Hello, a few weeks ago I had a G5 go dark, Power Supply blown. Fixing would
cost too much. Bought a PM Mirrored Door FW 800 G4/1.42 GHz Dual Processor.
The G5 had a 160 GB SATA HD. (Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9). I know I need a PCI
sata controller card. Would just any do? Doubt it. What would be a low

Sonnet Tempo, works great. Be sure to uncheck "put drive to sleep when
possible" in the energy saver pref. That was only issue card gave me,
it would freeze the finder until I found this out.

It wasn't the computer going to screensaver mode, it was the System
Pref for Energy Saver, and the option is "put hard disk to sleep when
possible".
Maybe you don't have it checked anyway.
Sonnet tech confirmed that's a known issue and easy workaround.
I have multiple G4s all running 10.5.8 and two

I would like to confirm the FirmTek SeriTek SATA card firmware
"retrograde" for G4. I recently purchased and installed a SeriTek 1S2
from OWC for my MDD Dual 867. The system would boot and work, but

flashing firmware.

Relax. I have a 320GB Seagate 2.5" SATA drive plugged into a PCI card on my
sawtooth, and it works Okay under Mac OS X Leopard, so a MDD should be fine
considering it has a faster version of the PowerPC G4 processor.
