Sonnet eSATA PCIe card prevents waking from sleep mode

Tried 2 x (removing card and then reinstalling). If the MacPro goes into sleep mode with the E4P card installed (v2.1.7 driver), then it will not wake up (mouse, keyboard or power button). Only recourse is power off.
Looks like a new driver required from Sonnet.

A new driver, version 2.1.8b1, is available.
Email Neal via [email protected] to obtain it.
He said that 10 users have already installed it and so far are happy.
Be sure to provide him with feedback in case it needs a little more tweaking.
Sonnet's responsiveness has been great ~/~

Bootable eSATA PCIe Card ?

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro 8 Cores
is there any one can suggest a good eSATA Card so I can connect my External Drive and be able to boot Windows from it (Boot Camp)?
something like this:

http://www.lacie.com/no/products/product.htm?pid=11068
I have already Apple's Raid card with 4 WD Raptors (Raid0), and I need to use windows for a task (program) that is not exists on OSX and as most of you know I can not install Windows (Boot Camp) on my system because of Apple's RAID Card
I do not want to use VMware or any Virtualization!
Thank you

Hi,
The best way to use boot camp is with one of the internal Mac Pro bays. If you plan your system configuration for Boot Camp use with an internal Mac Pro bay it will always work.
Boot camp typically will not mount if a 3rd party controller is used. If you want to make life easier move boot camp to the internal Mac Pro bay.
From my tests, Boot camp Windows volumes will not boot if they are mounted on Silicon Image based cards, Sonnet cards, Areca cards or HighPoint cards. You might find another solution but the deck is stacked against you
Have fun!

Compatible eSATA PCIe Card

Hi Gang
Back here again beginning to realize a familiar trend; many newer PCIe eSATA cards will not function in older G5 Dual Core with 10.4.11
New System Drive, 2 fresh OSX installs, no hardware modifications. 'No Sleep' options ALWAYS selected.
Relocated ALL 6 Drives to totally independent eSATA enclosures NO BRIDGE. All data thoroughly checked with Disk Warrior. Cables tight and secure.
Tried the Tempo SATA E2P, will not show up in Profiler (Specs show Mac Pro Only).
Tried both FirmTek SeriTek/2ME4-E & FirmTek SeriTek 2SE2-E. Will work for a while until system freezes, (Specs Vague). Tech Support Puzzled despite Firmware Flashes forward and backward. Freezes NEVER occur thru FW800.
Tried inexpensive 'Best Connectivity' Controller Card - Specs show compatible with OSX will not show up in Profiler.
OWC Speedy3G 2 port PCI-e SATA card - SOLD OUT
OWC NewerTech MAXPower eSATA 6G PCIe - 10.5 or later
Seems it's the same old story; back to searching for an older design card that might work.
Mike

You mentioned; 'cheap OWC eSata card' was that the 'Speedy3G'?
Yes, that's the one, not bootable, but...
Are you watching the Eagles?
Nope, I'm at work, as I am 12 hours a day 365+ days a year. (Don't ever go into Biz for yourself, your Boss can be a real hard nose!).
Is your your Quad water cooled?
Yes, I think all the Quads are.
Here's a non Raid, single drive test to the Voyager Quad interface test...

Detecting PCI Cards in Windows Xp using VISA

Hello,
I ran the VI in my XP and it gives me an error because I don't have any PXI instrument, but if I do a GPIB it works fine. So, what do you mean by it doesn't work?
Does it gives you an error? What error and which VI is giving it?
Make sure that you have installed VISA in this XP machine and that versions match.
Let me know

Ok, so now I need a new eSATA PCI Express Card for my Mac Pro

I have a Seagate eSata External Drive which comes with an eSATA PCI card.
The http://www.cwol.com/serial-ata/esata-pci-express-1-ext-1-int.htm site recommends this card: eSATA PCI Express Card - 1 eSATA II and 1 Internal SATA II Port, but it doesn't specify whether it works on a Mac Pro - any suggestions?
Mac Pro Quad Core 2.66 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi
I think the Radeon 9800 is certainly the most powerful graphics card you could buy for your G4 and would do everything you need.
Just be aware there are at least 3 different Mac versions though.
There's a G5 version, the Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition, which is 8X AGP and has 256MB VRAM.
There's an older Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition, which is 2X/4X AGP and has 128MB VRAM.
Finally there's a newer Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition, which is 2X/4X AGP and has 256MB VRAM.
So long as you get one of the 2X/4X AGP versions, either with 128MB or 256MB VRAM, it should work fine.
It's perhaps also worthwhile mentioning they do require a separate internal power connection, although this can be taken from a hard drive molex power connector. Also they have a cooling fan which can be noisy.
I hope this helps.

MacPro eSata Port/Card doesn't work with new Hard Disk

I just bought 4 x 3TB Hard Disc http://tinyurl.com/d2rglvn (specs of disc)
Which I put in Macally Enclosures to work on my Barracuda internal Hard Drive externally http://tinyurl.com/clg8yjo
I already have like 5 x 1,5 TB that works perfectly well with eSata connections (with exact same enclosures)
**My problem is that my 4 new Hard Discs works really fine with my Mac Pro but only with the USB connections but won't work with the eSata Connection. I tried it on a MacBook Pro with an ATA to eSata adaptor and it works perfectly fine (So my discs are not the problem) **
I am working on a Mac Pro (bought in 2007) - Mac OSX 10,6,8 and this is (I think) the card where I put the eSata :
PCI Card :
pci1095,3132:
Type:    Other Mass Storage Controller
Driver Installed:    Yes
MSI:    No
Bus:    PCI
Slot:    Slot-2
Vendor ID:    0x1095
Device ID:    0x3132
Subsystem Vendor ID:    0x1095
Subsystem ID:    0x3132
Revision ID:    0x0001
Link Width:    x1
Link Speed:    2.5 GT/s
I am kind of new using Mac and its support so what want to know is :
Do I need to update my PCI Card ? If yes how can I do that ?
If not, what can I do to make my disc work ?
My disks are eSata III (6GB/s) is it compatible with my Mac Pro ?
Thank you Very Much for your time

Difference between the disk that works in eSata and those that doesnt is this....
Works : ** 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
Doesn't Work : **3TB, SATA III (6Gb/s), 3.5", 7200RPM, 64MB
it is probably the problem but i don't know what to do to fix it !

Drivers for Sun Floppy under Win 2000 on SUN Pci card.

Hi,
I'm running a Sun Blade 150 with Solaris 8. I have a Sun Pci card with Windows 2000 loaded. When Win2k boots, it asks for drivers for a "sun floppy". I've looked around for these drivers but I can't find them. Can anyone point me to them. Thanks.

Take a closer look at the actual card,
particularly at the central Ethernet chip.
If I recall correctly, it is a DEC DC2115x chipset for 10/100Mbit connectivity,
and should be natively recognized by Linux.
The 501-5406 QFE card, as shown on a 3rd party web site.
Install it and boot your system.
You should know in just a few moments whether it'll work,
or whether the Sun firmware is of any concern.

HI a brody, I was reading your exchange with someone else, and I thought about asking you about a problem I'm having with my G5. First of all, i'm fairly illiterate computer wise, so please excuse me if i say something absolutely stupid. I have Mac OS X 10.5.6 and it crashed two weeks ago while viewing a documentary my daughter gave me on a CD. It just froze, no mouse, no keyboard. I pushed the start button for five seconds to turn it off. Waited a few minutes and turned it back on again. It didn't chime and it didn't boot. I pressed the button again, but this time a re-pressed it immediately after it went off, and it booted without a chime. It stayed on for about 15 minutes and froze again. I called the apple store near me and they asked me to bring it in, and replaced the hard drive. Paid $191.25. Got back home and turned it on, it chimed, booted, and after 20 minutes froze again. I called them and they told me that it needed a new logic card. I decided to research the problem a bit more because after the hard drive fiasco I'm doubtful the diagnostic skills of the genius bar near me inspire the trust necessary to spend another 900 dollars. I got on this chat room and read your chat in which you asked another guy if he had any Logitech products in his system. I have a Logitech THX sound system connected to my G%. I disconnected after reading your comments. In your experience... What can be going wrong? What can I do? I'll appreciate any light you can shed on this. THanks.

Pci card dial up telephone modem from a windows pc in my mac?

Hi,
My B/W g3 has Tiger running stably. Can I pull a pci card dial up telephone modem from a windows pc and use it in my mac under Tiger?
Special drivers needed?
Thanks,
Louis
B/W Mac OS X (10.4.3)

There is not nor AFAIK has there ever been a PCI modem that worked with Macs. You need an Apple internal modem or an external modem. I use an external serial modem with a Keyspan USB to Serial adapter. You could also use an airport base station as these have modems built in as well.

Creative WebCam Vista Plus on USB PCI Card (VIA VT 6212) on Windows ME - doesnt work !!

PC turns off when the Vista Plus WebCam is connected to the USB port on my USB PCI Card
I use a primitive Intel Celeron 300Mhz processor with 64MB RAM on an Intel 440BX-AT Chipset running on Window ME. I recently installed a USB PCI Card (based on the VIA VT 622 chipset) which is a 394/USB 2.0 Combo. The problem is my 'Creative WebCam Vista Plus' doesnt work with it.
After I had installed the drivers on the 'Creative WebCam Vista Plus' CD - that is - without connecting the webcam to my USB PCI card the installation asks me to connect the webcam to the USB port and When I do that the PC just GOES OFF !
It starts up only in SAFE MODE and each time I've got to restore my PC.
How do I get the WebCam connected to my PC ?
Thanks in advance

9hours later and Ive given up. I cant get the Vista 64 Ultimate to work with the Audigy 2Nx usb sound card. Im very angry and very frustrated (not to mention very tired from the 2 late nights Ive spent trying to work it out). Im not a PC-noob, but am only 4days into my Vista ownership................... Im guessing now, after much research, that there will never be a driver that gets these units to work with Vista 64bit. thats pretty weak Creative. However, I dont want to use crappy onboard sound for my gaming.What is the suggestion?Should I be looking at returning this unit, and buying either the X-Fi Xtremegamer?Fatality Pro as?a highend device, or the X-Fi Xtremegamer for $00 less? Or should I be looking at another manufacturer. Would either of these x-fi gamers work with Vista 64bit Ultimate?suggestions please?

I have problems with pci-gpib card under windows me, What I need to know what to do in order to fix this problems?

Hi, I have installed a pci-gpib card in my computer, I have a problem with
installation, the message of troubleshooting wizard is as follow:
"One or more missing GPIB interfaces.
There are several reasons why you might encounter this problem:
Reason: Your GPIB interface is incorrectly installed.
Solution: Please verify that your GPIB interface is correctly installed
and rerun the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard.
Reason: You are using a non-Plug-and-Play interface (e.g., AT-GPIB/TNT,
GPIB-PCII/IIA, GPIB-ENET) and you did not use the Add New Hardware Wizard
to add the interface to your system properly.
Solution: Click th
e Add Hardware button and the Add GPIB Hardware wizard
will guide you through the process of adding GPIB hardware.
Reason: For the GPIB-USB and GPIB-1394, the host controller (USB or 1394)
must be working properly in order to use the GPIB interface.
Solution: Click on the System Details button for details about the USB and
1394 host controllers.
Reason: For the PCMCIA-GPIB and PCMCIA-GPIB+, the PCMCIA host controller
must be working properly in order to use the GPIB interface.
Solution: Use the Windows Device Manager to verify that your PCMCIA host
controller is functioning correctly. Start the control panel by selecting
"Start>>Settings>>Control Panel", open the System icon and select the
Device Manager page. If you select "View devices by type", you can look at
the PCMCIA socket properties to ensure it is correctly enabled."
And on system details the message is the next:
"USB Driver type: USB universal host controller"
"This version of windows does not su
pport IEEE 1394."
I am using Windows Me, so i want to know what i need to do to fix this
problems.
Best regards.

If you have a PCI-GPIB card, you needn't worry about the USB port or whether or not Windows ME supports 1394. All you need in NI-488.2 version 1.70 from National Instruments. Install this driver and then insert your card. Windows should detect the card and find the proper driver.
If this did not happen in the proper sequence, look in the device manager and see if the card was installed as an "other device". If this happens, remove the card in the device manager and have windows redetect it. If this is not a solution, you may consider the ask an engineer page at www.ni.com/ask. Provide as many details as possible.

I have installed succesfully a PCI cards seen by windows but it does not appears in the device and interfaces tools of the Measurement and automation manager?

Cannot install new objects in device and interface to use the ni-imaq library and to take image from my camera.

Which PCI card did you install? The PCI-8252 and PXI-8252 will not appear in MAX. Does your card appear in the Windows Device Manager?

4 port Esata PCIe 8x card crashes mac pro

Hi
I now have purchased a couple different PCIe esata cards. A cheap one at Best Buy that the drivers crashed my computer. So I bought and expensive 4 port card that is suppose to be compatible with a Mac Pro. Loaded the newest drivers from the site and guess what it crashes my computer. I had a powermac G5 prior and it worked fine with a esata pcix card. Any suggestions???

Hi kasmik;
Your PowerMac G5 used Open Firmware and the Mac Pro that you are running now uses EFI. So the old PCIe card doesn't have the correct code in RAM to run with the Mac Pro.
