You are correct, the Sonnet cards do report SATA and SATA II drives to the system as SCSI devices. I have the tow-port Tempo SATA E2P which works great on my Mac Pro. Wish I had got the E4P 4-port version though.

I don't understand your reference to a "matching card" though. Why wouldn't they be usable? They appear to work just fine here.

AFAIK, you couldn't pull the drive you had connected to the Sonnet card and put it into a Mac Pro and boot off it. That at least was what Sonnet told me way back when. I'd like to be able to make backups (bootable ideally) that could be moved to another machine without needing to take the server apart (or purchase additional cards). Also, the Firmtek cards work just fine in the Mac Pros, but don't appear in an Xserve.
