This is an interesting one. The 'kosher' Mac 'Powerdomain' model has
a larger firmware EEPROM than the stock Winders version... or does
it? Apparently some of the latter are configured the same as the
former... flash it with NOT THE LATEST firmware and see. I hit
lucky, cadging a free 2940UW from out of a Pentium II and putting it
in a beige G3. If not lucky then you need to be very handy at
soldering IC components...
I include the following links that tell the whole story. If you have
further questions (like can't get hold of the software from Adaptec's
site any longer) then please mail me directly.
