As part of my quest to get my 7,1 to run Linux (seemingly impossible at this point) - I decided it would be a good idea to pop my OWC 4M2 into my 5,1 to see if I could install Linux onto one of those drives and then install it back into the 7,1. The 5,1 is running a fully up to date version of...

Hi all, has anyone ever attempted to build a complete database of PCI devices found on MacBook/Pro and Mac computers? If not, would you be willing to help me with building one? :) The intention is to improve Mac/MacBook hardware support by the non-Apple OSes (Linux, BSD, Haiku etc). If you're...

Has anyone tried or found a cable and adapter that would let you use the mini pci slot in a G4 mini or other PowerPC g4 based AirPort Extreme compatable Mac that would let you add a PCI card to the machine? Is the slot firmware locked to only airport cards? Can it take any a available PCI card?

I have an interesting question for you all. I have an interest in how video card support actually works after Mac OS is booted. OS9 likely won’t work this way, but I can’t help wondering: If you have a Mac version 9200 pci which seem plentiful and cheap, can you use a better video card in the...

hi, so i have managed to produce a driver that loads and, per hallab, seems to output sound. unfortunately i do not have any external sound devices that can power themselves, as i have another HDAV1.3 deluxe (lol) in my PC that's rigged up to my marantz amplifier and such. i tried using a...

Hello all, I decided to make this post here because I was interested in knowing what some of you have used in terms of PCI upgrades for a PowerMac G4 AGP. I have a PowerMac G4 Digital Audio with an upgraded GPU with no populated PCI cards at the moment. I'm wondering what would be some good...

Hi guys wondering if anyone can help me with a problem. I am trying to install the EdiMax EW-7727 pci card on my G4 MDD. I have downloaded the most up to date Leopard drivers from their site and installed it. System profiler recognises there is an other network card in the pci slot and...

Hi, I've installed Window 10 on a SSD in the bay 1 and on a NVME Sabret RocketQ 1TB on a I/O Crest Dual NVME on the PCI's Slot 2. I've tried to play flawlessly with Overwatch, Hero of the Storms, DIablo 3 on my NVME and I can conclude that it is not working properly. Some flickering appear or...

Hello everyone, how can i determine if an imac 21.5" Late 2013 has a PCI slot, behind the board, before dismantling it? Can i see it from the System Report?

Hello, recently I have purchased a new iMac 27' 2017 with 1TB SSD. The weird thing is that I have noticed the SSD is connected through SATA interface: As far as I know, iMac SSDs are supposed to be PCIe, correct? The speed tests shows slows performance compared to what they are...

I just got my Sapphire RX 460 4gb OC plugged in to my 5,1 Mac Pro. This is my first time swapping gfx cards so I'm totally new to this. Here's my situation - maybe you can give me some advice: Removed the 5770. Installed the RX 460 Rebooted computer - no boot screen. Desktop shows up shortly...

I'm planning to get this Samsung 1TB SSD for my 2009 MacPro 4,1. https://www.amzn.com/B00OBRFFAS/ I have a CalDigit Fasta-6GU3pro USB/SATA PCI card & I believe it has internal SATA III ports. Is it possible to connect this SSD drive to the Caldigit card or internally in one of the hard drive...

Hey Guys, i bought a used Mac pro 2008 and it came with a SSD (Samsung 830 w 250GB) installed. After checking speeds in Blackmagic Test (W 250 / R 250) i assume its connected by SATA - will open machine later when i get home. So if i buy the OWC Accelsior S adapter and put the drive simply from...

Hey everyone, I know slots 3 and 4 are shared, but do slots 1 and 2 share lanes as well, or are they independent of one another? Thanks, Matt

Hey everyone, I have a m.2 installed in my 2009 Mac Pro pci slot, the disc shows in system profiler but not in disc utility. I checked terminal using (diskutil list) and it does not show up. I tried different pci slots, restarting, reset pram and SMC, I even tried reinstalling the OS but still...

I have one of the first Mac Pros from 2006, and I want to move my OS to an SSD to increase performance. I have all of the SATA bays full with large spinning disks, so my plan was to install an SSD in a PCI adapter card. Here is my set-up: Mac Pro 1,1 (2006), running Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lycom DT-120...
