[G4] Tiger upgrade

[John Niven]

I have a Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA which I have used for
a while. Firstly in a G3 B&W:booted os 9 or 10.3, then
10.4 no problem. Also at some point it had two drives
on it.

Until recently, it was in a G4 AGP with a 180Gb drive
and 10.4. Just yesterday I found another identical
drive and thought I'd try a RAID1 mirror.

First I tried just two separate drives, which seemed
fine.

So I created a 180Gb mirrored volume and cloned my OS
onto it. This will boot fine. However, I seem to be
having erratic behaviour when it comes out of deep
sleep. Seems to hang sometimes, work others.

It sleeps fine with a standard OS volume on the card,
but struggles with the mirror. Any suggestions would
be  welcome.

But in answer to the OP, it probably depends on the
pci card you have, but it should be possible.
