PCI-X card compatibility list for PowerMac

[TzunamiOSX]

Searching for other working PCI-X cards for the PowerMac G5 (Controller, Network cards an so on), because one of my slots is empty.

Areca ARC-1160 working
SATA II Controller (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and other)
Driver needed and available
Not bootable

I suppose - LSI 3041X-R might work right OOB (have 1 such thing, but don;t have G5 with PCI-X).

I've come to conclusion (m.b. not 100% right) that controllers with Sun Solaris support (especially for SPARC-based hardware) can be compatible. They use OF too, that what I thought when I've been seeking for compatible SAS.

This is what I know about the LSI 3041X-R. I heard the LSI 3041X-R is only bootable with SAS drives.

Nonsense. it have to work with any kind of operational drives it supports (SAS\SATA\HDD\SSD). BTW, this video about a bit different controller - 3080, it supports 8 drives but connectors are different. My 3041X-R (& E-R which is PCI-Ex) works with 4 drives & uses SATA connectors.
