| PCI SATA bootable card? |
Posted by: AlpineRaven on 2017-07-18 16:58:56
Morning all -
Is there such a PCI card with SATA connections that is bootable for Power Macintosh 8600 (and or PowerPC 604e/ev era?) Like these Sonnet Tempo that is bootable in G4 MDD.
Currently I have SCSI card that is also bootable as well.
Thank you
AP

Looking at the Temp Serial ATA 2 port card box it says it is compatible with the 4400, 5x00, 6x00, 7x00, 8x00, 9x00 and later PCI machines, BUT lists Mac OS 9.0-9.2 and OSX 10.3 and later for OS.

Should be plenty of information on the internet (as well as here about cloning the card). It has a ROM so it is bootable.

I have several Sonnet SATA cards. They are bootable.
I've used one in an 8600.
Earlier cards listed MacOS 8.5 as minimum OS but I've heard of people using earlier OSes.

I have discovered that my Sonnet Tempo sata card did work in 8600 - last time i tested it didnt work - I dont know why. Anyway I managed to install System 7.5.5 on SSD hard disk via Sonnet Tempo!!!!
Cheers

Acard 6290M and 6890M are also SATA and bootable. I'm not sure about performance though. Some of the early Acard SATA models are identical to their PATA cards, but with an extra chip to make a PATA to SATA translation and then a SATA connector instead of PATA cable connector.

Don't forget that because you are using PCI you will be lucky to get more then 80MB/sec speed.

Are there specific model numbers for these cards? I currently don't have any and it would be nice to get one for my 8600/300.
Don't forget that because you are using PCI you will be lucky to get more then 80MB/sec speed. Considering the stock SCSI drives are limited to what, 10MB/sec on the bus? That's still impressive. ;D

i just tested my 6880M card in a 450Mhz Sawtooth AGP with an 80gb SEAGATE 7200.9 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s drive (in non-raid mode) with ATTO Express tools
Peak Read: 70.63 MB/s
Peak Write: 69.51 MB/s
Sust'd Read: 62.52 MB/s
Sust'd Write: 58.21 MB/s
the result was the exact same with a 6890M sata raid adapter; the two use the same chipset; the latter being the SATA version of the same model card basically
also if you have more than one drive attached with bootable os; it seems to want to choose the port furthest away from the bracket as the boot drive
i used a SATA/IDE adapter on the 6800m when testing was able to boot into os8.6 + 9.22 with both cards
