Usage:
The SiI3124_2.0.3_Sil_Pkg Macintosh driver supplied with the
Addonics ADS3GX4R5-MLM SATA host adapter is designed to
provide multilane compatibility for an Apple PowerMac G4 or G5
running Mac OS X 10.4.x. There are several multilane enclosures
that will work with the ADS3GX4R5-MLM host adapter using the
SiI3124_2.0.3_Sil_Pkg Macintosh driver. Addonics sells a Storage
Tower model ST4SAML configured with a multilane connector. It can

Setup
When you first purchase and install a new hard that is attached to the
ADS3GX4R5-MLM host adapter, you will need to format the hard
drive using the erase tab in Disk Utility. Disk Utility can be found in
the Mac OS X “Utility” folder. Once you have erased the new hard
drive it will mount on the desktop and be ready for use. You can also
create RAIDs using Disk Utility with the hard drives mounted in your
SATA enclosure.
