Figure 22: SeriTek/1VE2+2 listed under PCI/AGP Cards 

 

3.  Under PCI/AGP Cards  section, SeriTek/1VE2+2 should show up as an “ata” card type. 

 

4.  If SeriTek/1VE2+2 is not listed, shut down your Macintosh computer and try re-seating it 

in the PCI slot by removing and reinserting it.  Repeat steps 1 through 3.  If the 
SeriTek/1VE2+2 still doesn’t show up in the Apple System Profiler, try moving it to 
another PCI slot.

  The transfer rate on my Power Macintosh 8500 seems less than the Serial ATA 

Early Power Macintosh computers, typically built before the “beige G3” was available, have 

limited hardware resources.  These limited resources severely limit data transfer rates of 
many storage technologies, including Serial ATA.

  Does the SeriTek/1VE2+2 work with all Power Macintosh computers? 

No, SeriTek/1VE2+2 only works with Power Macintosh computers with at least one PCI slot 

available.  If your system lacks PCI slots you cannot use SeriTek/1VE2+2.

  My older Parallel ATA hard drives and peripherals have jumper settings.  

Serial ATA hard drives and peripherals are internally configured as Master drives.  Only 

one drive can be attached to each Serial ATA bus/connector.  There is no need to change 
settings on either the drive or the controller.

  I have an old Parallel ATA drive which I am trying to use with a Parallel ATA to 

Some older Parallel ATA drives do not comply with current ATA standards.  Parallel ATA to 

Serial ATA converters cannot recognize such drives.
