645 Are Tempo SATA/SAS cards supported under Windows 7 or Windows Vista under Boot Camp on unibody MacBook Pro computers?Feb-21-12
778 I have a 17" MacBook Pro 6,1 and my ExpressCard does not work after upgrading to Mavericks.Dec-30-13
There is a bug in the Apple ExpressCard driver specific to 10.9 (and 10.9.1) that prevents ExpressCards from initializing in the MBP 6,1. We have reported it to Apple and expect Apple to fix it in a future release. In the meantime, we have a patcher for you.

Download the Qio System Installer here http://www.sonnettech.com/support/kb/kb.php?cat=402&expand=_a3&action=b496#b496

When you get to the installation type, click \u8220 Customize\u8221 , deselect everything but IOPCIFamily, and click \u8220 Install\u8221 . Restart and all should be well. When Apple updates the ExpressCard Driver, it will overwrite the old driver with the Sonnet patch, so there will never be a need to uninstall.
 
945 Will the Tempo SATA E2P PCIe card or Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 ever be compatible with macOS High Sierra?Sep-29-17
Unfortunately, not. The driver was written by the 3Gb SATA controller chip maker, Silicon Image, and they no longer maintain the macOS driver for this chip.
