Sonnet Tango PCI-Express Firewire 400/USB 2.0

Had my new Mac Pro less than a week and as I didn't want to move it out from under my desk too much I fitted an extra 500Gb HD and a Sonnet Tango PCi-Express Firewire 400/USB 2.0 card before I started it up for the first time.
If I put the Mac to sleep it won't wake (I have to restart using the power button) and the status light flashes in a '3 flash then pause and repeat' way indicating failed RAM.
I've replaced the 3x 2Gb RAM sticks (as fitted by my local Apple reseller) and replaced them with the standard 3x 1Gb as shipped… No change… I've run the AHT and Memtest and everything checks out fine there. Remove the Sonnet card and the problem is gone, I've tried the card in a different slot and the problem returns… I don't have another PCI-Express card to try… Any suggestions as how to proceed? I need those FW400 ports!

I've contacted Sonnet and they've been very helpful… They tell me that I'm the first person to report a sleep issue with this card (really?) and that I need to contact the retailer that I bought it from as it must be faulty. As yet I've had no reply from the retailer and Sonnet have offered to contact their UK rep on my behalf if I don't hear anything in the next couple of days. I'll keep you posted…

PCI express FireWire and USB suggestion

Hi there,
Got a G5 and need to add a fw 400 card as well as additional USB ports. Can anyone make a suggestion? I have a G5-quad core. I emailed Sonnet and they said they don't know of any manufacturer making PCI express Firewire. this doesnt' seem correct. I'd appreciate any replies as to what others have done to add FW slots since I want my external drives (lacie) on separate bus from my deck. Much thanks.

I added a SUNIX FW800 card to my system. Works fine. Tried a 3 port FW card from SIIG first, but that one wasn't compatible with the quad. So just be carefull as some cards are NOT compatible, even if they are PCI express. Make sure that you can return the card if it doesn't work.
But there are plenty of possibilities if you search the web.
Good Luck

Employee at the Genuis Bar told me to get pci-express firewire 800 card

told me any card would work in my new.......well it WAS new till they announced upgrade, 2x3ghz quadcore xeon.
I want to add another firewire 800 bus since I have the AJAHD hooked to the existing bus.
So I went to Fry's and got the "PCI-express firewire 800/1394b controller card 3 ports".
put it into one of the empty slots, rebooted, and got nothing, just some dull chimes, that don't stop.
it fit within my macpro, but it was a lot shorter than the SATA card, that had no problems.
So I guess I need to know exactly what type of firewire 800 card to I have to get.

I installed 1 of these in an 8 core OS 10.4.11 FCp 6.0.2 QT 7.3.1 dedicated to io HD
don't recall a driver disk for mac, however I rarely if ever use the supplied driver disk for anything anymore 'cause it's almost always out of date. go to mfg site and get drivers etc.
this is the first link I saw googling siig

by the way it worked great. needs a 1 lane slot. you'll need to check expansion slot utility. typically goes in slot above gfx card or slot4 (top) slot

Need PCI Express Firewire

I did a search here, and on Google. The cheapest card found was $55, and that had only 2 ports. I'm not a cheapscate, but this is my first purchase for my new G5 and the last FW card I bought for my G4 was $22. Is express always that much more? I definitely need it, because I seemed to have gotten one of the Dual 2G with a bad FW port. I did all the tests and the only thing Apple will do is take the thing apart, and I'd rather not have them do that for one port.

Hi Claude;
If Apple is going to do this under warrenty, then I would strongly suggest that you allow them to do it. Personally, I think that not allowing them to fix the problem now might end costing you in the long run.
To answer your question, yes PCI Express cards are generally more expensive. It appears this is true for two reason. First PCI Express is new and new always costs more. The second reason is that generally PCI Express card have greater performance then either PCI or PCI-X.

What to do about not waking after Sonnet Tango USB FW PCI in G4 AGP Graph?

I have bought a used PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics 400 MHz, running OS X 10.3.9, 512 Megs of RAM, 20 GB internal ATA HD, Internal CDRW, Internal ZIP 100, Adaptec SCSI SE card (25 pole).
That system was just fine - amazing power for an 8 year old computer!!!
Then I installed a Sonnet Tango USB 2.0 FW 400 PCI card that I removed from my PowerMac 7600 - Sonnet G3 running OS 9.1 where it worked flawlessly.
I wanted to get USB 2.0 in the G4. The card works great - burning a DVD with a LG Burner attached via USB was amazing - DVD done in 5 min!
However one Problem: I cannot let the system go to sleep any more. Once it is to sleep I cannot wake it any more. I have to force reboot. When I choose sleep from the menu, the first time the computer wakes immediately after going to sleep, when I try once more, I get a message that I have to force reboot the machine by pressing the power key for 5 seconds.
Does anybody have a solution (to this apparently relatively common problem).
I have included a passage from my system log.

Hi KBReid,
Your issue looks really familiar. I have a G5 iMac (all stock except 2G RAM upgrade) that has been running 10.5.6 for, well, as long as it's been out. The machine is set to automatically shutdown at 10PM and boot up at 8AM. It's on a UPS. 4 nights ago it shut down, and in the morning it was stuck at a light blue screen with the pinwheel in the top left corner after it tried to boot up. I've unplugged it, reset PRAM, went into OF and typed reset-all. Here's the kicker: I can boot from the 10.4 disc that came with the iMac and see the drive, verify/repair (nothing was wrong). It won't repair permissions because it looks for some "package." The iMac won't boot from the 10.5 disc (full retail). Or perhaps I should say that it won't completely boot, because it does the same thing that the hard drive does: it goes through the apple screen, then two shades of grey and two shades of blue really slowly, then it stops with the pointer at the top left (leaving a copy of it lurking in the top left corner if I move it.) Eventually the pointer becomes the spinning wheel, and then it's all over.
I don't think that it did any update (I have it set to ask first, and the boot partition chooser in 10.4 disc still show 10.5.6 as the HD OS) so I'm totally baffled why it is acting the way it does.
Any suggestions? Did you resolve your issue?
Thanks!

PCI Express 2.0 Firewire 400 card (?) and the best RAM

Hi. I just bought a new Mac Pro with the following specs:
* One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processor
* 3GB (three 1GB) memory
* 1TB hard drive
* 18x double-layer SuperDrive
* ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB GDDR5
I'm upgrading from a seven year old G4 MDD Dual 1.25 gHZ (still running OS 10.4.11).
I also have a small recording studio- with audio interfaces that use Firewire 400 connections. I don't want to use a converter, nor do I want to use a hub, as they create latency issues when recording/sequencing.
My question is this: Does anyone know of a good PCI Express 2.0 card that has (maybe 4) Firewire 400 ports? Also, I want to upgrade the RAM, can anyone suggest a good RAM chip? I did some research and found 16GB from OWC at about $280. My understanding of OWC is that it could be any number of manufacturers. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

You can adapt the FireWire 800 ports to firewire 400 with a simple adapter or cable that has no active components and no latency. A card is not necessary.
Once you eliminate the total garbage products from unscrupulous Vendors, "Quality" of RAM correlates with "does it work in my Mac".
Buy from a Mac-savvy Vendor who can tell you what RAM goes in your Mac, and guarantees it will work or your money back. \{It costs then money to get it wrong.]
As I_elephant suggested, a Lifetime warranty is what you are looking for.
Be very cautious when reading about how to configure memory in your Mac. 2009 and later is completely different from 2008 and earlier, and you need to check the dates on the articles you are reading or you can easily get information that does not apply to you. e.g., the 2009 does not require updates in "matched pairs" but the 2008 and previous does.

Firewire 400 and 800 PCI Express Card Question

I just put in a Firewire 800 PCI Express card in my Mac Pro. If I add a Firewire 400 PCI Express card also to my Mac Pro will the 800 card work as in 400 speed due to the PCI Express 400 card being added to the Logic board?
Thanks!!

Each card operates independently.

USB PCI-Express Card half working???

I just purchased and installed a SYBA PCI-Express USB 2.0 5 Ports Controller Card (Model SD-PEX-NEC5U) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812186010&Tpk=SD-PEX-NEC5U
I think it's half-way working. I did some researching prior to my purchase and I was under the impression that the Mac Pro (2006) could accept any PCI-express card. I have my Kensington USB bluetooth adapter plugged in (to the internal port) and it powers the adapter light and both my wireless mouse and wireless keyboard work perfectly. However any of the devices I plugged into the rear 4 ports are not working... (ie my Western Digital 1 TB hard drive that has 2 partitions on - one for Time machine backups and one for regular storage)
According to the Syba website, Mac OSX is not listed as a supported OS. The card came with a drivers disc but doesn't have any Syba drivers on it... tons of other manufacturers.
Can anyone offer advice about installing drivers or "adding hardware" (a la Windows)? Again, it's working with my bluetooth... so whats up with my hard drive?

A safe place to check and start your research is OWC.
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/add-ons-and-hubs/pci-pcmcia-cards
As for MyBook - they can be iffy; if a drive fails, it is built into the case, so I prefer to buy cases with USB/FW and that you can install a drive yourself, even if comes with one.
USB: when there is FireWire and you can easily add SATA PCIe, yes they cost more but then they can drive multiple drives at full performance too.
When you buy generic cards, see if they use the same chipset as found in Sonnet Allegro and others.
Then check
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ for reports in their upgrade database and articles.
And no, it requires PCIe, but not just any (and even PC with Windows 7, some cards can also be problem).

Firewire and USB PCI Upgrade for PowerMac G5

Firewire and USB PCI Upgrade for PowerMac G5
I am looking to add more Firewire 400 and USB 2.0 ports to my Dual 2.7 PowerMac G5. I don't need a combo card (two separate cards is fine). I was wondering which brand card works well with my Mac and OS X. I had a FireWire card that I moved from my Dell to my PowerMac but had a number of problems with a couple connected HDD's and Final Cut Pro. The card which I think was from Belkin was listed as OS X compatible on its packaging.
Thanks for any guidance.

Check out OWC/Macsales. Usually can't go wrong with Sonnet or an OWC "house branded".
http://www.macsales.com
Check out user reports for PCI G5 Compatibility
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com
I've used OWC FW800, Aaxeon PCIe, and a number of Sonnet USB2 (and combo).
Depends on how many USB2 ports, but for FW400 and USB2 combo should do fine. With FW800 I'd go for independent cards.

PCI Signal Converter to USB/Firewire

Greetings,
Is anyone aware of a device that would allow me to continue using my Darla 24 PCI sound card by converting the PCI to a usable USB or Firewire signal? Is this even possible?
I'm posting in this forum because I want to upgrade to a new Mac.
Thanks,

Do you mean some sort of external case in which you'd mount the Darla and then connect it to the Mac via Firewire or USB? If that's what you mean, then no, there's no such device (none that I've ever heard of, anyway).
If you want to continue to use your Darla with a current PCI Express G5, you're only option is Magma's new PCI Express -> PCI expansion chassis. It won't be cheap - ca. $2000.00 US - so it may not be cost-effective.

How to setup usb card in pci express slot

how to setup a usb card in a pci express slot,

Do you want a recommendation on a card?

FireWirer 400 Ports not working, Fix and/or Add PCI FireWire card

Here are some details about my G5:

I have two FireWire 400 ports that aren't working. I normally use the FireWire 800 port, which works fine.
I've tried:
- Resetting the NVRAM
- Resetting the PRAM
- Resetting the SMU
I haven't been able to run Apple Hardware Test, it is not on my install disc and I must have lost the separate Apple Hardware Test CD... annoying!
1) First Question - Can I do any more to fix the FireWire ports?
I also have a FireWire PCI card, which looks like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815150103 though I can't be for certain that is that one (PCI card purchased by my business partner 4 years ago and was originally in a PC). It's got 3-ports (2x 800 and 1x 400).
2) Second Question - am I ok to install this FireWire PCI card into the G5?
(how do I identify for sure what make of PCI card it is?)
If so, which slot and how should I go about doing it?
Thank you

Hi sohopigeon, and a warm welcome to the forums!
What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device...
If the issue persists, try these steps:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Disconnect all devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
3. Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
5. Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.

The 7,3 2.3 was PCI-X, I notice this PCI card is NOT for use in PCI-X G5s...

While this one works in PCI or PCI-X...

Not sure about yours, but it does say...
PCI 2.2 compliant and works in 32-/64-bit PCI slot
Works in 3.3v or 5V PCI slot
The one that doesn't work in yours above is also PCI 2.2 compliant.

I have an iPod G2 with a firewire 400 lead. how can I attach it to my new 13 inch Mac book Pro, is there a 400 to 800 firewire converter. USB lead wont work with the Macbook Pro. iPod used as an external drive to archive memory cards on the go.

My G2 iPod that I use as an external drive to archive memory cards on the go cannot link with my new 13" Macbook Pro cause it uses a firewire 400 lead. It will not work with a USB lead. Is there a firewire 800 ipod lead or converter available? Can any one shed some light on this please?

As far as I know, if a harddrive works with a Macpro, it should work with the Macbook: if your Macbook is low on power, plug in the AC adapter
If your Macbook has a firewire port, then it should be fine. BUt i would do somemore research first.

Need connector from firewire 400 to USB 2 port

got a new i-book and want to use my old ext hardrive firewire 400 for backup.
Is there a cable that connects the new i-book USB port to the firewire 400 ext hard drive so I can use the old external hard drive as backup?
Or am I screwed?

Doesn't the FireWire port on the iBook work?
Or are you mistaken about what you have? Is it a MacBook you have instead of an iBook?
If it is a 2010 Mac, it would be a MacBook, and, yes, it would not have a FireWire port.
External USB drives are fairly inexpensive. That would be the route I'd take.

Mac Pro doesn't recognize USB 3.0 PCI express card

Mac Pro doesn't recognize USB 3.0 PCI express card. Does it need specific drivers?

I did a little searching for that card. The more I looked at it the more I felt that, yes, it needs a driver, and no, one doesn't exist for the Mac. So it looks like that is a card only supported for PC's. But to be sure, if I were in your place at this point, I would contact MSI directly.
