Sorry I can't help you on other issues. I can and will say that I believe the above info regarding the XLR8 upgrade card and the TEMPO ATA 100 card to be false. Yet another in the long list of strange less then true replies from Sonnet Tech people. I'd like to see what other Sonnet 100 card users who have XLR8 upgrades have to say about this. There are some issues with older G4 upgrades and Apple machines with 6 PCi slots. Could this be one of them? How many PCi slots does the 8600 have? I'd thought it was only the 9600 that has 6 slots ??
Will,
I have a six slot 9600 with a Sonnet Tempo ATA 100 card, running a 60 GB ATA 100 Drive. I also have an XLR8 G4/450 processor upgrade in the 9600. I have never had any problems booting off of the ATA 100 drive in OS 9.1. Sorry to say that I still have not had time to try installing XPost Facto. So, I can not shed any light on that issue, but will share comments as I get to that point.
Could you supply more details about the the problems/issues? I was not aware of any issues related to that combination.
Nancy
Nancy, Please reread the posts . I was responding to someone else's post and basically saying Sonnet is full of it. When they say the XLR8 upgrade is causing the problems ;-)The machine was a 3 PCi slot Apple machine.
The SSE version of the carrier card that you have is the one that fixed the issues with G4's and 6 slot Apple machines.
I would guess your machine should be fine for upgrading to OSX ;-) The only iffy thing I see is the Orange Micro USB/Firewire combo. They may well have fixed the drivers for that by now I'd guess.
