Controller Cards. Which Will Allow Booting?

I'm in the market for a controller card for my G4 Sawtooth/450. I just read elsewhere that it's a tough find for one that will allow an external drive to remain bootable.
I was looking at two controller cards the SIIG Serial ATA 4 cHANNEL PCI-M (#SIISCSA4M12) and the Sonnet Tempo ATA133 (#STITAT133). Will either work and still allow booting an external drive?
Thanks for any help,
Tony

Thomas,
I simply wanted to add a card to allow up to 4 drives and allow them to go past the 136mb wall. When I posted elsewhere (ok "I'm not worthy") I was told that an external drive (firewire) would no longer be bootable unless I went with a Firmtek card. I do boot off an external drive from time to time for diagnostics, thus my concern.
After posting here I called OWC and they said that they've never heard such a thing and that a Sonnet card would work fine.
The source may have been speaking of one of those combo controller+external firewire port cards, but I'm only assuming this.
I'll go for the Sonnet.
Thanks,
Tony

    Yup.

    Hi,
    Without knowing what is on your Mac it is a little difficult to say.
    Photoshop Elements will do it (Use the Magic Wand to select the area then Paint it).
    GraphicConvertor comes bundled on some Macs and can do it.

    Have you searched for one? This is a technical forum. Look for what you want at the iTunes Store.

  • Trying to find software update which will allow me to connect with ipad

    Trying to find software update which will allow me to connect with ipad

    From the pictures I found, there should be two ports on the back - a firewire 400 and a serial port.  But I'm not clear how many variations of this duet there may actually have been (there is also a duet 2 I saw, but that is clearly distinct from the duet).
    If your ports look like that, regardless of the cable, that port on the right is a standard firewire 400 port.  The one on the left looks like a standard serial port to me.
    So it seems to me a firewire 400 to firewire 800 cable - http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA833ZM/A/belkin-firewire-800400-9-pin6-pin-ca ble-2-m66-ft coupled with a firewire 800 to thunderbolt adapter should work for you - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r?fnode=51
    They actually have those at the stores usually, so you could take the duet to an Apple store, tell them what you believe you need, and then make sure with them before you actually buy anything.

  • How can I transfer files from a 27" iMac which will only boot in safe mode?

    My late 2009 27" imac is having issues and will only boot in safe mode. I have tried to transfer files to a new Imac using migration assistant but it wont let me. If I try booting the old Imac normally I just get a grey screen, I believe it is the video card failed and am waiting for a fix, but I would like to transfer files before the fix in case something goes wrong and I lose everything.
    Any help would be great

    Hello Myles, likely it is a Hardware problem.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Looking for a Replacement program for the Multi page format in AppleWorks draw which will allow me to make poster size prints.

    AW draw allows you to specify pages across and down which can be printed out and cut and pasted into a poster. Does anyone else know of a program that will do this so I can upgrade to Lion? I have been holding off upgrading since I don't want to lose this one feature.
    Thanks

    EazyDraw can do this (menu File>Page Layout). However it's not a cheap program, though it is quite powerful - more so than the AW drawing module (and it takes a bit of getting used to as it operates rather differently).

  • New to imac, used a pc before and am used to windows Vista.  what can i get for my imac which will allow me to continue using windows?  doesn't have to be vista in fact would prefer it if its the newest windows application

    what window programme can i get for my new imac.  would like the latest windows with outlook and all the other stuff.  also bought it from a friend and need to remove his name from it, but have followed all the instructions and its still there, can anyone advise please?

    If you have an intel Mac, you can use BootCamp, which is part of your OS and allows you to run Windows.

  • Has anyone heard whether Win 10 will allow booting from a ReFS partition?

    I've been running a few ReFS volumes for a year now under Windows 8.1. It's been flawless.
    So...
    Will we see Windows 10 enable ReFS for the boot volume?
    Maybe this could also give us the easy ability to have a larger than 2 TB boot volume on a BIOS computer?
    It would be nice...

  • I just purchased two Macbook Air along with two Time Capsule (2TB) for my kids. Meanwhile I use a sagemcom ADLS modem/router for home use. Can I connect both Time Capsule and laptop which will allow both laptop to have their own backup system?

    I want both of the computers to have their own independent time capsule.

    want both of the computers to have their own independent time capsule.
    I assume that you are asking about using the Time Capsules for Time Machine backups here, correct?
    If yes, both MBAs will be able to select the specific Time Capsule that they will use for backups, so "point" MBA1 to Time Capsule 1 and MBA2 to Time Capsule 2.
    Since you will have plenty of available backup space if you use two Time Capsules, you might want to consider having each MBA back up to both Time Capsule 1 and Time Capsule 2.
    This way, if one Time Capsule fails, you will still have a complete set of backups for both MBAs.

  • Is there a plugin for Elements 12 which will allow me to download/edit raw images from a Nikon D70?

    I am currently using a Nikon D70 and would like to edit the raw files. I think Adobe did a Camera Raw plugin for Elements 3.0 but I would obviously like to buy the newest version of the software and need to know whether it will still meet my demands. If not, how do you get your hands on an old version of Elements?

    Yes, photoshop elements 12 should open your Nikon D70 camera raw files just fine.

  • Is there an OSX application which will allow me to run iOS apps on my iMac?

    I'm consistently finding great new apps for my iOS devices to control any number of household utilities and entertainment systems. Is there an emulator tool for OSX for which I can use my apple id to load and access all of those great iOS apps on my OSX based iMac?
    For example I have apps which control my pool, home scale measurements, lighting, entertainment system, etc. It would be really convenient to have access to all of those tools on my iMac rather than always having to find an iOS device.
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Check w/each manufacturer to see if they make an OS equivalent.  It's what I do when I see an iOS app that I  am interested in to use on a Mac. 

  • I facilitate a lot of workshops and working sessions where Iuse presentation software. What I want to be able to do is "draw" on the presentation slides with a tool which will allow the drawing to be seen on screen and captured as mark ups or notes.

    Can anyone suggest the right software / tool? I am thinking that if the presentation was run on an Ipad it might be possible to have an app which can be used to "mark-up" the slides so that it can be seen on screen for all to see and capture the markings so that you can leverage the mark-ups as notes for changes to be made based on the working session. Can anyone suggest a successful way of accomplishing this?

    It's not something I've ever done. But SlideJockey:
