Re: Looking for a PCI (not PCIe) card for (non-raid) SATA that is compatible with PowerMac G4



Hi Rick,

I would ask in the PowerPC forum of MacRumors, the guys there are very knowledgable:

I have an old PowerMac G4 "Silver" (PowerMac3,4 533 MHz) running
Debian Jessie, that I'd like to put a couple of SATA disks into.  That
means I need a SATA controller card that will fit in one of its PCI
(not PCIe) slots.  It also needs to be to be compatible with the
PowerMac Open Firmware BIOS.  I've tried two RAID SATA-ii cards but
they expect to have a Windows PC BIOS motherboard and refuse to even
allow the Mac to boot with them plugged in.

Anybody have a recommendation?  And where can I purchase it?

Thanks in advance!
Rick
