I don't know if this the right place to post this thread but I have a SeriTek 1V4 4 port SATA card in my Power Mac G4 Digital Audio. When I first installed the card, it worked find and my hard drive showed up. After a restart though, the drive disappeared. I kept the card and drive in the mac and VERY occasionally (around once or twice a month) the drive would appear again, but after a couple of minutes the drive would disappear and the mac would kernal panic. This is in OS X Tiger, but the drives won't appear in any other OS either. The box claims that the card works in "Mac OS 9, and OS X 10.1.5 or higher".
I have tried around 5 different SATA drives, the jumper settings are correct also (set to 1.5Gb/s compatibility) and still get the same result..
Can anyone help? It's such a weird error and I did contact the Seritek support people but they weren't much help. It's a PCI-X card but the box says "Backwards compatible with all PCI-equipped Power Macintosh Computers"
