63 Can I operate two Tempo SATA cards in the same system?Sep-02-09
Yes, this is a great way to expand capacity and performance. If two or more Tempo-X, X4+4, X8, X4i, X4P, E4i, or E4P cards are installed to the same machine they must all have the same firmware version to avoid conflicts.
 
106 Is Tempo SATA E4P, E4i, X4P, or X4i compatible with Red Hat Linux?Sep-02-09
Tempo SATA E4P, E4i, X4P, and X4i are supported under Red Hat Enterprise 4 Linux with Marvell (TSATAII chip set) drivers. The Marvell Linux driver supports direct connect drives but not port multipliers, so there is no compatibility with the Fusion D4Q, Fusion D5P, Fusion R4Q and Fusion R4P storage systems. As in Windows, drives must be connected at boot time.

206 The Tempo SATA card does not seem to work properly in my Power Mac G4. Do I need different firmware?Apr-25-10
Some customers have experienced problems with the current version of the firmware in older G4 machines. Sonnet suggests downgrading the firmware to the Version 5.13, which can be found at http://www.firmtek.com/download/SeriTek1S2_513.zip
 
207 Why can't I install Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on a drive attached to the Tempo SATA card?May-12-09
The Tempo SATA is bootable with Mac OS X. For some users the drive does not show up when the\u160 Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) DVD is inserted. This is a bug in the Leopard installer program.

In this case, using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the current boot drive to the\u160 hard drive on the Tempo SATA allows the drive to be seen by the Mac OS X installer.
