I Test SATA PCI Adapters So You Don't Have To - Mac PCI SATA Card Roundup

SDG:
On that fake flashed card you bought, it looks very much like the 3.3v regulator just under the BIOS chip has been removed from the board, which is very odd. That's the one that needs replacing with a Micrel 29150 to work in a QS/DA.

Recently I bought a 2TB Seagate (ST2000DM008-2FR102). It couldn't boot OS 9 when connected to my 1s2 (firmware v 5.1.3 which I flashed it myself) clone nor with a SATA to IDE adapter, just the blinking floppy disk for a while before switching to boot from other drive. The boot partition is just 1.6 GB which is within OS 9's limit. This makes me a bit worry when buying new drives.

The 1TB (ST1000DM010-2EP102) boots OS 9 fine, BTW.

I tried booting off a ADATA SU600 120 GB SSD, but it won’t boot off of it for some reason. However, it works with the ACard SATA PCI adapter though.

the last card, I have a few of those that were made for my by a certain someone and they still work great for me, the rom was physically swapped + soldered with a firmtek rom of appropriate size + brand name, but nowadays this has been made redundant thanks to our internet hero dosdude1 the firmware was reduced + brand check removed so you can flash it in any pc to turn it into a Mac bootable silicon image 3112 card https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/silicon-image-sil3112-flashing-easier-way-using-flashrom.7013/page-2

was the 1v4 purchased recently? the firmtek seritek webshop still taking orders?
I thought they stopped responding to emails for awhile.??

would this be a good & readily available card? https://store.rabbitholecomputing.com/RETRO-SATA-PCI-p/rhc-sata-sii3112-pci-hard-card.htm

i have read it can be flashed directly from mac os9

Yo, gert79…

Rabbit Hole Computing is a member over on 68KMLA.org and there’s a 4 page thread there dealing with that specific SIL3112 PCI hard card - beginning on 1/9/2023 if you’re interested in much more info on that card. Here’s that link: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/a-high-quality-sata-pci-2-5-hard-card-to-celebrate-satas-20th-birthday.43133/
