Well if an update is the answer, Wes Plate may have one
less $500 gizmo to sell. 😉 -
That’s interesting.
But when I watch PP booting in the video it’s 4.0.0 -
Sorry, you got a KONA LHe, I thought it was a
KONA 3. Ignore my post. -
You’re OK with slot 3.
Got this from AJA when I asked support
about where to install my SATA card and the Kona 3.
(I have the same Mac Pro as you.)“Which generation macpro do you have?
Go to: about this mac/more info/system identifier.
If you have a type 3,1 you will be OK.
Put the Kona card in slot 3 (X4) and your raid card in slot 2 (X16)
If you have a type 2,1 your raid card will have to go in slot 4 (X4) and the Kona in slot 3.”

Most welcome.

Colorista 1.0 for FCP is an FXplug.
You will find it in:./Library/Plug-ins/FxPlug/
Delete the two plugins:
MBCC_Slider.fxplug
and
MBCC.fxplug -
After much back and forth with AJA support,
they now say that slot 3 is fine with the Kona 3
and Mac Pro early 2008.
Just as Mr Zelin has said. -
[Nick Franco] “Cna any one recommend a better low budget option than i have already? maybe i should just by the Sonnet D800 i can not spend my life trying toget one piece of equipment to work.”
I have on order from WiebeTech the SilverSATA V five Bay SATA Enclosure (SISV-0-BND-1).
It has a 200 watt power supply.
$ 914.56 CAN
Includes a PCI-X Port Multiplier card for G5s (also has jumpers for using in a G4 as well).It’s reviewed here at AMUG:

[Nick Franco] “i’ve only just brought a new encasment D500P in the last week with no drives in it. i’ll speak to sonnet agin tomorrow.”
You can’t buy a D500P directly from Sonnet in North America,
it’s been replaced by the Fusion D500P E-series.
Some resellers may have old stock they want to get rid of. -
[Nick Franco] “i have always had 10 seagate Baracudas 500gb raided zero in these cases and never had a problem till now. Is the Maxtor the only drives that have this 4-5 bay raid problem?
i’ve been speaking to sonnet and they have never mentioned this, but i guess that is because it doesn’t apply to the seagate barracudas.”Nothing to do with the brand of drive.
The note from Sonnett plainly stated:“Note: This enclosure has been
qualified for up to a 4-drive RAID
(not a 5-drive RAID), and only for
drives with capacity up to 500GB
(not 750GB and greater).”It’s a simple matter of the power supply not being capable of supplying enough power to start 5 drives spinning up together, and maintain this power during heavy use.
If you read my post carefully, Sonnet (California office) told me on july 7, 2007:
“”We started putting that sticker on the last batch of Fusion 500P’s we shipped as we were noticing problems. Shortly after that, we beefed up the power supply, changed the product SKU and started shipping everything with drives in them.”
The new Fusion D500P E-series removes this restriction.
