So I have a copy of 10.1 Unlimited Client Server and I thought it would be a hoot to install it on my Yosemite as it is very quiet, sucks up a max of 200w and has a monitor power passthrough socket/port/jack/whatever. I have my website and other various data server files on a 200GB WD drive so I have a Sonnet Tempo/133 card to handle that and a 60GB IBM disk on the built-in ATA bus as the boot drive. Upon install and first boot, the machine did not recognize the WD drive, as I figured it would not as 10.1 barely supports anything until 10.1.5. Upon upgrading to 10.1.5, the machine saw the WD drive and seemed to work fine so I went ahead and completed the rest of the updates. After rebooting to finish the updates, the machine hung right before the login screen for a good 20 minutes. It was still responsive to mouse movements, but it sat there with the (awesome) old-school spinning disc of death, so I did a force-reboot. It booted normally and the login screen popped up, but after logging in the WD was no longer showing up. A quick look at System Profiler showed that the system was indeed seeing the Tempo card, but recognizing it as a SCSI card, rather than an ATA card. I did some quick interneting and from what I found getting the Tempo card to work is a hit-or-miss, sometimes requiring the downgrading of the firmware which has the unfortunate side effect of disabling large disk access.
So I'm just doing an upgrade to 10.2 UC Server, but I was curious if any of the more software-savvy people here had any tips on what I might be able to do to get 10.1 to work. Its not really essential, I just think it would be really cool
