The VSC7174 is a single chip PCI/PCI-X to
Serial ATA Host Bus Adapter that provides a
robust, high-performance interface to Serial
ATA Disk Drives, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROM's and
Tape facilities. The device supports 8b/10b
encoded data at Serial ATA v1.0 operating
speeds of 1.5 Gb/s - equivalent to 150 MB/s
of raw transfer performance; in addition, the VSC7174 can deliver
burst transfer rates of up to 1064 MB/s.
The VSC7174 is driver compatible with existing operating systems
supporting parallel ATA interfaces – providing an easy migration
path for existing IDE customers.
The ease-of-use, flexibility, superior performance, and attractive
price of the VSC7174 make it an ideal choice for your Serial ATA
Host controller needs.

ATA products.
(http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1924.0;attach=1239;image) | **** another similarity i see between these cards and the SIL3124, in common they both have these PLED 2 pin jumpers for connection to a hard drive light for monitoring disk activity, this is really cool because no other mac os 9 compatible hd interface has this i think?? but it also draws a line connecting these with other sil3124 cards... so.. is it possible to take the firmware for the 1v4 family of cards and use on a sil3124 card? has this been attempted by anyone? probably not!!! |

is the 128k serial flash EEPROM is built into the chip itself??? is that why this card has no PMC or MX flash rom chip on it??
or is the rom chip on the back of the card?
i cant remember where i got this info from... about the chip being the vitesse chip "vitesse vcs7174"
mactron did u tell this name to me? maybe i found a higher res pic
pic showing the full length "Wide" pci 64bit card installed in a g4
the 2+2 card providing 2 internal ports + 2 external ports.. perfect! *THE BEST* card.. 100%
I am using a dell powervault 745N, with the 4 port SATA controller module (Intel 31244 PCI-X to Serial ATA). This is not the same as the on-board 2 port SATA controller.
There is a small smd chip that can be a EPROM...
It's really small. I'll try to read or made a picture of it from my SeriTek 1VE2+2 ...
can u look up this ATMEL chip to see if its 128KB eeprom? i cant read the picture its not big enough LOL need a magnifying glass ;D

I can hardly read it. It seems to be ATMEL 552 25F 1024... ...
Intel Corp. introduced a Serial ATA-2 controller today for high-end storage systems, the first time the chip giant has brought the technology to market.
Intel’s four-port Serial ATA Controller 31244 can transfer 1.5 Gbits/s on each of its four ports and can be paired with the Intel IOP321 I/O processor for RAID on the motherboard applications.
In this case, the term “Serial ATA-2″ is a bit of a misnomer. The 100 members of the Serial ATA Working Group, including Intel, Dell, Seagate, and other vendors, decided to first tack on networking and high-end storage features to the existing Serial ATA standard, which was completed this past August. These products, which include the Intel 31244, are expected to begin rolling out during the first quarter of 2003.
In the second half of 2003, members are expected to define a higher signalling rate for Serial ATA-2 for product delivery in 2004; 300-Mbytes/s has been suggested as a likely target. Serial ATA products transfer data at 150 Mbytes/s.
Intel’s new controller features support for PCI-X-based communications applications, including increased voltage to interoperate with backplanes, technology that facilitates visual monitoring, and planned support for command queuing, which improves performance in multi-user applications for NAS and RAID systems.
Intel also introduced an iSCSI adapter an a 400-MHz ultra-low-voltage embedded Celeron for storage applications.
Intel expanded its line of components for storage products on Monday, announcing a serial ATA controller, an iSCSI storage adapter and a low-voltage Celeron processor.
The new Intel 31244 serial ATA controller can transfer data at 1.5G bit/sec on each of its four ports. The controller, which links a system's motherboard with a hard disk drive, improves performance in network-attached storage devices and RAID systems, according to an Intel statement.
The Intel PRO/1000 T IP iSCSI adapter is meant for storage-area networks (SAN). The adapter uses Intel's Xscale processor technology to take over IP and iSCSI tasks from the host processor, which increases throughput in SANs, according to Intel.

Intel also announced a version of its Celeron processor that does not need extensive cooling and can thus be fitted in small storage devices. The 400 MHz ultralow voltage (ULV) Celeron processor dissipates 4.1 watts of heat, Intel said.
Available in the first quarter of 2003, the 31244 serial ATA controller will cost $22 in 10,000-unit quantities and the iSCSI $695 in single units. The ULV Celeron processor at 400 MHz is now available for $38 when bought in quantities of 1,000, Intel said.

Bootable, but OSX only, I guess.
I will report back if 2se4 works for storage uses on OS9. The page of the user that reported badly over it seem to have a conflict with the pci, I think.
Mac OS X version 10.4.0 or later (works best with 10.4.6 or later)

Sil3124 (found on SeriTek2SE4)
Mac OS X only, I cannot remember more about it off the top of my head. I might say it is the least interesting aside from it supporting 4 ports. PCI-X
Chris I have this card in a QS 867mhz it only works in macosx. Supports sataII
It has a Sil3124ACBHU chip check photos.
If it can be flashed to work in macos9 I would be very happy.
Does it work in os9? at all? as a data drive? or not at all? completely invisible??
pcie g5 - i wish they never made this machine tbh; just made things complicated
finally someone doing it right, send this man a card to reverse engineer
no idea what nubus has do do with seritek, but i just noticed that the seritek website is gone, probably this time forever.For PC intel have driver
any 1v4 solution - and if it is only OS9/OSX drivers for PC versions - would be most welcome.
i still dont have one, because the seritek office holder required you to have a credit card and because shipping single units to europe makes no sense.

weird. i thought those cards used a Vitesse chip.
