denim Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 I think I'm missing something. We now have an update to Retrospect 5.1 for use on G5 machines. This is a Good Thing. However, I don't see anything about which PCI-X cards are appropriate for use with it. I looked in the interface compatability page, so maybe I missed it??

AmyJ Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 The ATTO line of Ultra3 SCSI adapters are the only adapters with announced G5 compatibility. These adapters require version 2.0.0 of the ExpressPCI Plus driver to be installed on the G5 for them to function properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 There's no "readme" as to what this installs. Is it an update to something within the Retro 5.1 *application*? Or does it install some library/framework/extension? - Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted October 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 It updates the Retrospect Application package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 Thanks. The reason I asked was that the log file still said the app was 5.1.167 after the update... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only card announced by Dantz, yes. However, they are not PCI-X cards, so their compatibility has to be limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianouth1 Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Is it supported in the current G5 1.8Ghz model? {PCIX}? I'm in the process of migrating from a sawtooth G4 and need to buy a SCSI host adapter... If not - any suggestions? Many thanks in advance...

hmseiden Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 I'm told by my RAID drive manufacturer (RAID Inc.) that it's not true that only Atto Drivers will work. The Apple OS Drivers for RAID devices are their accepted standard and work perfectly well with Atto 320 cards. Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmseiden Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Both models PCI & PCI-X can be accommodated. The Atto cards are PCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmseiden Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Apple just approved the Atto UL4D Card (320MB/S) for the G5. Will Retro support this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
