LG GGC-H20L with Sonnet Tempo Sata Pci Card into Powermac G5

Hello dear Community.
I have a LG GGC-H20L HD-DVD/Blu Ray Drive. And a Sonnet Tempo SATA PCI Card.
The Problem is, that the Computer cant find the LG GGC-H20L Drive. The Sonnet Tempo Card it find. Broke i drivers? And where i can get it?
Can one of you Help me?

I made sure there was a good 'thunk' as it slotted in to the PCI slot everytime I installed it, I wiggled it to make sure, I applied reasonable pressure to make sure it was seated correctly, etc. I tried everything, short of using a hammer! Still no joy. I have a PCI firewire card which works perfectly in all slots.
I've sent it back to the supplier for a replacement/upgrade to the Tempo-X 4+4.
Thanks for the tips.

SATA PCI card in powermac, which one?

Im looking for a SATA PCI card for a power mac and was wondering what is the cheapest option can I use any card or just ones specifically made for mac?
Any help appreciated.

A controller card plugs directly into the computer's hardware. An adapter lets you plug a SATA drive into another interface which in turn plugs into the computer. I don't have experience with either but I suspect the controller would be faster since the adapter would be limited by the speed and maybe even drive size limitations (if such) for whatever interface you were using. It depends upon the computer. For which kind are you thinking of buying one?

Sonnet Tempo Sata E2P driver

I just installed a new Sonnet Tempo SATA E2P card, but for some reason it's not recognizing the driver. I've tried installing the driver several times, and each time it tells me the install is successful. But when I open System profiler, the PCI card shows up just fine, but under "driver installed" it says "No."
I've got a Dual-core 2.3GHz PowerPC G5 running OSX (10.5.7), and it's supposed to be compatible. Any ideas?

What's the first character of the card's serial number? According to Sonnet's website with regard to G5 compatibility: "Only Tempo SATA E2P with serial numbers starting with A or B compatible; Tempo SATA E2P with serial numbers starting with C are not compatible in Power Mac G5."
If that's not the case, are you trying to install drivers from an installation CD or have you downloaded the latest drivers from Sonnet's website?

I have a MDD dual 1.25ghz processors and I would like to know which sata drives will work with the Sonnet Seria ATA pci card?

Which sata drives will work with the Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA card?

Pretty much any of the SATA 3.0 Gbps drives.
Western Digital Black and Blue and Hitachi 7K drives are all good choices.
If you try a SATA 6.0 Gbps drive, it will need to be jumped to limit to SATA 3.0 Gbps.

Real Life SATA-PCI speed of PowerMac G4s

I see people on the web talking about what super speeds they get from their SATA Drives hooked up to SATA-PCI-Cards (Sonnet, Firmtek, Acard, doesn't matter) in their G4s.
Since I only get 33-39MB/s depending on what drive I use, I suspect they just use benchmark tools or I am an idiot. (copying from one drive to another both hanging on the same PCI-Card).
Please, can someone use a real file and copy it manually from one SATA-Drive to another and use a "stop watch" and calculate the file size through the time elapsed in seconds.
It does not matter, if I use a file of 5GB, 20GB or files of 800GB. No matter which SATA-PCI card I use (have kept me a Sonnet and a Macally). No matter if both are installed or just one.
Would really appreciate your help.

@ all:
First thank you, all! You make me confident, that it is not me making a mistake somewhere (I can't imagine what mistake anyway since it is plug and play. But people elsewhere like to point out, that the user is the biggest source of mistakes).
What I ask myself again is:
why then, are people claiming that they get 100MB/s speeds on the same PowerMac G4 Sawtooth ("AGP", with 100MHz-BUS)? I trust Japamac, that he did do tests, but what really comes to mind is, that it must be the benchmark utilities (Quickbench and ALA) making people think they have 100MB/s speeds on a theoretical SATA-150MB connection.
Btw. I have tried the 500MHz stock CPU, a Sonnet 7447 2x1,8GHz and a Sonnet 1x1,2GHz 7455, I could see that the 500MHz CPU is overal 5MB slower, when processing large files. 5MB is not siginficant, I know.
I am not saying, that a Dual 1,8GHz is making everything different and neglecting what you said, when you just transfer files and I see that the CPU is somehow oversized on a 100MHz FSB. Of course people swear their Upgrade CPUs do much. I guess they really roll out their advantages in let's say converting DV-files to another format. (I plan to test this the next weeks btw., also watching power consumption).
Thank you again. I hope Japamac says something on the topic, since he still posses his Sawtooth G4 and maybe he can reperform his test with a real file (other than "virtual" benchmarking). A pitty that there is no message function on this forum.
PS: on RAM usage, other than music authoring software and photoshop, RAM doesn't seem to be that big of a deal on a PowerMac. I watched activity monitor, while converting an iMovie-file to h.264 (took like 8 hours with the Dual 1,8GHz), the RAM was never filled over 512MB and I have 2GB installed. OS X is very nice to RAM, too it seems.

MBP 2010 Mavericks SATA PCI Card not working

Hello there,
with Mountain Lion I had no problems with my LaCie SATA II ExpressCard 34, but after installing Mavericks this card is not working anymore.
http://www.lacie.com/de/support/support_manifest.htm?id=10274
I contacted Lacie Support, they do not have an actual driver.
So I bought a Sonnett Tempo SATA Pro 6Gb ExpressCard/34 which should work with Mavericks.
Unfortunately my MBP from 2010 does not. Sonnett offers a workaround http://www.sonnettech.com/support/kb/kb.php?cat=466&expand=_a3_a1_a2&action=b778 #b778
After installing this I could use the card when I plugged it in AFTER systemstart. If the card is plugged in when the computer is started, the compter will not start at all. So, if I like to use an external drive as startvolume with this card, it is useless.
Does anybody have the same problem and any solution?
Will there be an update for Mavericks regarding this problem?
Thanks for Feedback

I can't offer any solutions, my MBP doesn't have an Expresscard slot, but it seems like no one else has answered so I thought I'd offer a suggestion. Contact Other World Computing at Macsales.com. They specialize in Mac hardware and may be able to supply you with a card that works.
As for the "will there be an update" question, we're all just users here so we have no idea what Apple will do.

Problem with NEO2 and sata controller card

1.Product Type: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (MS-7025)
and the controller card is a InnoVision DM-8301 and the hard drive is a Seagate ST3320620AS
2.BIOS version: The newest one, 1C0 or something.
3.External VGA Type: Geforce 6800 GT
4.CPU Type: AMD 64 3500+
5.Memory Type: G Skill ZX 2048mb.
6.Power Supply Type:
7.Operating System: Xp Pro
8.Problem Description:
Hello. I have a strange problem with my controllercard. I wrote this text to InnoVision suport and they send me files and bios updates for a whole week and it was still the same problem. And then i tried the card in an older computer and everything worked fine.
I wrote
"Hello. I got some problems with my new controller card. I can find my new harddrive ,that's conected to the controller card, when iam inside windows and it's seems to be no problem. I can look on every seting on it and everywhere i look i can read "No problem". I Also did some test with the seatools programe and everything was fine. But when i schould copy files to it the coumputer start lagging after a few seconds and i cant do anything. After a while i can move the mouse around but the it laggs again. My computer is overclocked at the time but i have tried to use the harddrive when it's not clocked also. Also when im goin in to teh controlpanel and starts the setings for Sillicon Images sata controll and have music on my computer, the music laggs for a very very short moment. Something must be wrong and i can not find it."
It's still the same problem in my computer. The older computer had a MSI moderboard with a VIA chip and i have a nForce 3. InnoVison said i should talk to you about this problem. I have 3 harddrives but i use this controllercard because i want to have my computer overclocked and then i can't use 2 of the sata ports as i think you know.
I would be very thankful if you could help me with this problem.

I've used a noname SATA pci card (non raid) with SIL3112 on my neo2 without problems with 1C bios.
Think you may try with a disk lower than 48bitLBA need (137GB barrier), eg a 120GB disk
Quote:
have the InnoVision EIO DM-8301 and had alot of problems using it with WD 160MB SATA drive.
I am using Intel 865 based MB with 2 original SATA channels. The original SATA channels are bootable.
I could not used the EIO card with 160G HDD. The whole setup is working only after I connected oine of my 120G Segate SATA HDD to the EIO Sata card.
I think this card do not properly support HDD above 120G.

Btw: you have xp sp2 ?

Edit:
Here's another with complete different setup and same problems
http://forum.tweakxp.com/forum/Topic212148-4-1.aspx
I doubt it has anything to do with your motherboard and/or bios.
Btw: I looked at innovision and their drivers in download area are very old.
Get the latest SIL3112 drivers for XP here:
http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=63&cid=3&ctid=2&osid=4&
And remember 3112 is sata150 only , so it's not sure it will work with your drive at all .
Anyway it should be set to fixed sata1.5G with jumper - not certain the controller can autonegotiate
without trouble. You cannot have command queing enabled either , disk support only NCQ and controller TCQ
so having command queing set ON will cause major conflicts in data transfers.

Sata PCI card

I have a G4 dual 450 and would like to install a sata pci card so I can use a raid subsystem for my company. Will this G4 support the sata PCI card?

Hi! The G4 can support a SATA card though check for bootability on RAID cards. I use a Sonnet Sata card and it is bootable but the one I use is not a raid card. Tom

Is there any SATA PCI card support G5?

since there is only 2 HDD bay inside the G5, and all of theres are full already, i'm planning to get 2 more HDD, can i just add a SATA PCI card, then simply just plug 2 more HDD with the PCI Card?

Also, you might want to look into port-multiplier solutions.
I have a PCI-X G5, so you may have different options, but I started out with a Firmtek Seritek 1VE4, with 4 external SATA connections. I have now exhausted those 4 connections, so I replaced it with a Lycom eSATA 4-port which supports multiplication (5 drives per port, for total of 20 drives)
MacGurus is very knowledgeable about the SATA expansion options for all desktop Macs.
You can get single-drive chassis, which often have eSATA, Firewire and/or USB ports, or go for a 4- or 5-tray enclosure, which often let you hotswap drives in and out.

Bought wrong e-SATA PCI Card and seek advice on the right one to buy

I have a MacPro bought in 2006 with Intel Processor but still having the old MAC OS X 10.4.11 Tiger version.
I bought an e-SATA PCI card : http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXPCIE6GS2/
But I realised first that I could not insert it. The distance between the slots in the mother board and the external exit whole to fix the card and not compatible (card too short). Furthermore the card specs says that it requires max OS 5 version or later.
So what do you recommend that would go physically in the slot and at the same time fitting with my MAC OS 4.11 version ? This card is to be used to connect external drives suing e-SATA connections.

Nothing wrong with using that card in your Mac Pro. The card will fit in your MP's slots, so if you are unable to seat it then you aren't doing something correctly. The specs say the card is backward compatible with PCI-e 1.0 slots.
You will have to upgrade your OS to the requisite version. Given the cost of Leopard you may wish to instead upgrade to Snow Leopard.

Using a lan/hpib gateway (Agilent) with a NI GPIB pci card

Need to be able to use a E2050 lan/hp-ib gateway (Agilent) together with a NI GPIB pci card on the same workstation (windows). I need 2 seperate gpib busses but also need the remote functionality or the lan/hpib box. I would use ni enet but it will not work together with a installed gpib card, only one or the other. Read information on useing an hp card with a ni card in the same system but cannot get it to work with the lan box. I do not have a hp card to install in my computer to see if that works or not. Has anyone attempted a similar task?

Hello-
It is possible to use a PCI and ENET board in Windows 9X/ME. The solution for Windows NT/2000 is to use the new VISA server technology using two computers.
Computer A:
This is a computer that will not use a GPIB plug-in board, but is on the network. Install the GPIB-ENET/100 driver and VISA 2.6. Then, set the appropriate VISA server permissions and run VISAServer.exe (see the VISA Programmer's Reference for more details ni.com/manuals).
Computer B:
Install the PCI-GPIB driver and VISA 2.6. Use Remote VISA to access the ENET/100 through the other computer's driver.
This is also a very useful technology for remotely controlling numerous instruments throughout a distributed laboratory.

JNI to access functions of a dll to deal with a data aquision pci card

i am trying to do an applicattion to access the functions of a dll
to deal with a data aquision pci card (Analogig/Digital pci card).
i�m using jni of course, but i have some problems.
first i did a class called "TesteDll" witch contains all the native methods to access the functions of the pci card.
after, i did a "TesteDll.jar" to use these methods in another applicattions.
everything was fine until there. so created a single program like this:
TesteDll td = new TesteDll();
short res1 = td.P1602_DriverInit(wTotalBoards);
short r = td.P1602_ActiveBoard((short)0); // ativa a placa
short res2 = td.P1602_GetConfigAddressSpace((short)0,wAddrTimer,wAddrCtrl,wAddrDio,wAddrAdda);
int dwRepeat;
for(dwRepeat=0 ; dwRepeat<100 ; dwRepeat++)
short wRetVal;
wRetVal = td.P1602_ClearScan();
wRetVal += td.P1602_AddToScan((short)0,(short)0,(short)1,(short)0,(short)0,(short)0);     // CH:0 to scan
wRetVal += td.P1602_SaveScan((short)0,wV0);
wRetVal += td.P1602_AddToScan((short)2,(short)0,(short)1,(short)0,(short)0,(short)0);     // CH:2 to scan
/* ->error here!*/ wRetVal += td.P1602_SaveScan((short)1,wV2);
the programs compile correctly, but in the execution the folowing error was descripted:

i run the same program in c++ builder and everythings goes fine, but i need to do it in java. i don�t know what to do,can you help me?
thanks

i almost forgot, i�m using win 98.
First i used Dev C++ to make the JNI dll and the error ocurred at the first call of "P1602_AddToScan()" function. after i made the jni dll using C++ Builder, and the error ocurred at the second call of "P1602_SaveScan()" function. but the error message in both cases was the same.
for(dwRepeat=0 ; dwRepeat<100 ; dwRepeat++)

MDD with SATA PCI card, what is largest drive possible?

I have recently bought a Sonnet Tempo PCI SATA card for my MDD, is there a maximum size to the SATA HDD which I can attach to this card?
I want to use it mainly to store videos etc.

If the drive is to ever be bootable, 2TB is the largest partition that you can use.
Not sure what Sonnet has tested with that card, but the Firmtek controller that it carries will support 2 TB for sure.

Apple raid card with Sonnet Tempo SSD problem?

I am currently using Mac Pro 5.1 (2010)
My configuration is
1) Apple Raid Card in PCIe slot 4
2TB bootable HDD and 3x 1TB HDDs configured to RAID 0
2) Apple Radeon 5770 card in PCIe slot 1
3) Sonnet Tempo SSD with Apple OEM 512GB SSD in PCIe slot 2
4) Caldigit Fasta-6GU3pro USB3 + eSATA card in PCIe slot 3
When I boot from 2TB bootable HDD in main slot #1, everything works well.
But, when I install Mavericks to 512GB SSD in PCIe slot, installation finishes without problem, but the system NEVER boot up with that drive.
(The drive appears in boot disc selection in system preference, but nothing changed even select it and reboot.)
(I did a lot of PRAM reset too...)
The SSD works well when I put it to 2nd ODD slot with spare SATA2 connectors in there. (boot properly, etc).
But when I put it back to TEMPO card, It never appears during boot process (even I press option key).
Maybe problem is due to
1) Issue with APPLE raid card
2) problem due to two additional SATA controllers in PCIe rains.
3) Issue with card configuration (I have to test change the position of cards except APPLE RAID which requires slot 4)
Does anybody experienced similar problems?

This:
> But, when I install Mavericks to 512GB SSD in PCIe slot, installation finishes without problem, but the system NEVER boot up with that drive.
It is not uncommon to have trouble installing, cloning, or booting from a PCIe card - though the Sonnet Tempo Pro SSD is one of the reliable ones, still, you should install the OS first on SATA II normally, then move the SSD to its new home.
The fact the SSD works on the ODD port - have you asked or looked for firmware update or anything from Sonnet and what they have to say?
With three PCIe cards to contend with, they may interact - not unheard of - and the USB3 may need drivers first to work?

Sonnet Tempo SATA E4i does not work??

This stinks!! I have around 500GB worth of data locked on that Partition. Anybody else having problems with this card in 10.5??

For the record... after doing my Leo upgrade, I promptly dragged my 3 SATA drives in to the "do not index" page in the Spotlight prefs, then after waiting well over an hour of letting Spotlight index my boot volume, I issued a Restart. Finder seemed hosed and the machine churned and churned, apparently still trying to complete the indexing. I left it overnight because I was out of steam at 4am. When I woke, it was still spinning, so noticing that the drives had stopped accessing, I did a forced shutdown and then a Safe Boot to force Disk Utility to do its thing. My machine came up fine, and after rebooting normally, I had to drag the SATA drives into the Spotlight ignore pane one more time (they didn't stick because of the hard shutdown I guess), and now all drives are working fine on my system, including the SATAs, which I've done numerous read/write tests on (in Finder). Of note is that a few days ago, before the Leo upgrade, I had updated my Sonnet Tempo E4i firmware to the latest (2.1.2) - not sure wht impact that had, but it couldn't hurt. I'll report back if things go South, but so far, so good on my G5 Quad with the G5 Jive, 3 Maxtor 500GBs, 2 bay internal SATAs, and a bunch of FW drives. I hope you guys get it going also.
